| Information
for patients, families, and the community |
 Patient
education at Toronto Western Hospital provides reliable
health information to patients, their families, and
the community. Through these pages you will learn more
about the patient education activities that are available
at the hospital.
These pages are designed to give you some information
about your time in our hospital. If there is any information
you think is missing, or if there is something you do
not understand, please feel free to ask the doctors
or nurses or any health care professionals involved
in your care.
 Having
peace of mind is an important part of getting and staying
healthy. It is your right to have an explanation of
your illness, the treatment being proposed, any alternative
treatments, and the expected results. We encourage you
to discuss with your health care provider,
- the nature of your health problem;
- possible treatments and procedures;
- any examinations or tests;
- prescribed medicines;
- what you can do to improve your health.
