Navigating the Medical System
Mitochondrial disease is a complex illness. Due in part to the fact that mitochondria can be found in every cell of the body (except red blood cells), mitochondrial disease has the potential to impact every organ, tissue and cell. Because of this complexity, navigating the medical system with multiple specialists, therapists, practitioners and support staff can sometimes prove to be overwhelming and difficult. In an attempt to assist individuals in navigating this Mito world and improving the care for themselves or a loved one, we have created this Mito Navigator Toolkit.
There are 3 key areas this toolkit will focus on:
- Communication
- Medical Records
- Support
