My Health Checklist is free for you to download, print, and share with your friends, family, community, faith group, or patients. Please do not make any changes to the guide.

To have more efficient, effective, and productive appointments, share the guide with patients before they come in. Some ways include:

• Mail hardcopies to patients before their appointments
• Hand a copy to a patient at the end of an appointment for them to use at the next visit
• Introduce the guide at the "Welcome to Medicare" visit
• Include the guide in the electronic portal (please note, this option is useful for some patients, but others will need a printed copy)

The guide helps older adults think through all aspects of their health — what’s going well, what could be better, and their questions or concerns. Then it helps them prioritize their top questions about what matters most to them.
