Driven To Help You: "Own your diagnosis and don't let it own you."

Arlene M. Karole, FACHE, CHCP, CMP, MSA

We need to own our diagnosis and be co-creators of our health and our health outcomes. Whether it be taking control of a diagnosis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, alzheimer’s, diabetes or any illness, let us empower ourselves, in part, by learning about our illness and examining the lifestyle choices we make on a daily basis that may influence our health in a good or not-so-good way.

 

Awareness, playing a proactive role, and fully engaging in our day-to-day behaviors and following the path of preventive healthcare is easier to achieve, as opposed to the path of getting better once we have a medical diagnosis. We have choice and control.

 

There is a major paradigm shift in healthcare happening. We are patients and we are consumers. We want to live our best lives—taking ownership and responsibility for our health, wellness and well-being—mind, body, spirit and soul—a comprehensive holistic whole-person approach, makes this possible.

 

Together working with our providers towards patient-centered health care and shared decision-making (SDM) as we educate ourselves along our continuum of care from diagnosis to healing and beyond —WE GOT THIS!

What People Are Saying About Just Diagnosed

testimonials-right.png

"Both informational and inspirational, this book is the goddess guide to the universe of breast cancer complexity. Few people have the grit and deeply inquisitive and tireless nature of Arlene Karole. With determination and courage to dig deeper, she’s done the work and relieves the burden of “not knowing what to do.” This well-organized stepwise guide helps readers prioritize not just their breast cancer-related consults and appointments, but to commit to greater awareness of what changes we can make to enjoy better health than what was “normal” before."
