******************REMINDER ********************

The Portable Caregiver includes a Health and Medication Record booklet that you can pop out of the binder and take with you to the doctor’s office. This little booklet makes it easy to keep track of the questions you’ve asked the doctor and what the responses and recommendations are. It also helps you keep track of test results and medications changes.

To order The Portable Caregiver as a holiday gift for someone you care about, visit www.portablecaregiver.com or call Tom or Mary at 919-968-3858. We’ll be continuing our special pricing through November.
