Today, being a wise healthcare consumer has become even more important than it was in the past. However, when it comes to selecting high-quality healthcare service for yourself or a loved one, it is hard not to become overwhelmed by the amount of information available.

As you go about deciding what services you need and where to obtain those services, taking an active role and doing a little research can help you become an informed healthcare consumer.

Your healthcare provider can be a valuable starting point as you begin your search. In addition, you can utilize the Internet to learn more about area services by exploring aging and disability resource links, eldercare networks, professional associations, and government agencies (such as the state departments of health and human services, aging services, county health or social service boards), just to name a few.
