Don't Be Afraid to Speak Up for Your Healthcare

We at FHN are proud to work with The Joint Commission – the non-profit organization that sets standards and accredits healthcare organizations like FHN – to encourage our patients and their advocates to Speak Up and get involved in their care. You are the most important part of your healthcare team!

Patients who are actively involved in their healthcare – asking questions, participating in decisions and staying well-informed – get more out of their medical care. Our goal is to encourage everyone to be an active participant in their healthcare.

You can use the acronym "SPEAK UP" to help you remember some tips to keep you involved in your healthcare:
