When dealing with a medical condition or preparing for an upcoming surgery, we have a lot of information to process and options to consider. Many of us have questions we forget to ask while we’re in the doctor’s office. In other cases, we may have questions we think aren’t important or are too embarrassed to ask.
Emmi programs help put you at ease and make you a more informed member of your care team by answering frequently asked questions and guiding you step-by-step through your condition or upcoming procedure. See Emmi program offerings at Sentara below for video links.
