Giving patients control over their health care

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Jeremy Cauwels, M.D., asks us to rethink the doctor's visit. Health care literacy places the importance on patients. Do they understand their diagnosis and treatment plan? Do they have a voice in the decision-making process?

Dr. Cauwels is the chief physician at Sanford Health. He discusses what health care providers can do to help patients understand and participate in their wellness plans.
