What is a Med-Pal?
This Village volunteer program supports you with a “second set of eyes and ears” at doctors’ appointments. Med-Pals are trained volunteers who will work with you before, during and after your doctor visit to make sure you get all the information you need to understand your situation or treatment plan.
Your Med-Pal will meet with you ahead of the appointment to help you make a list of questions you may have for the doctor and will accompany you at the appointment to help make sure you get those questions answered. Following the appointment they will take time with you to make sure you have all the information you need or if other follow-up is required. Med-Pals may provide transportation to/from the appointment if this is requested. Med-Pals can also attend a Televisit appointment with you, if desired.

How can I access a Med-Pal if I need one?
It’s easy! Just call the Village with your request and appointment details. We’ll share it with our Med-Pal volunteers, and when one of them lets us know they can help, we will get you connected with him/her. Med-Pal is a FREE Village benefit you can use as often as needed.
