Molly's Med Minder Medical Organizer

Portland, OR – What’s the hard truth in today’s health care battle? You are responsible for your care, your records, your prescriptions, your tests and your life. For chronically ill people, this management is compounded by the fact that there is no standardized medical record system for the hundreds of hospitals and health care facilities in our country. One such patient, had had enough, afflicted with Lupus, Molly McCabe decided to take her care into her own hands, and take on a broken system with a Medical Organizer that has already saved her life – several times over – Molly’s Med Minder was born.

Molly’s Med Minder is a Personal Health Record (PHR) system that you can use to collect, track and share past information about your health or the health of someone in your care. There are electronic medical records, yet these are not uniform data and cannot be easily transferred between providers. Having Molly’s Med Minder with you can offer guidance in emergency situations where seconds count and information is vital.

“In the process of trying to get a diagnosis, I had to visit 14 doctors before I finally discovered I had Lupus. Each time I visited a new doctor, they wanted to see all my health records, which the previous doctor never remembered to send ahead. I would then have to do the same tests all over again because someone forgot to send a fax. I got so frustrated with being poked and prodded for no reason that I started to ask for a copy of every test result I got. I put them all into a three ring binder and started bringing them with me to every doctor’s appointment, I became an informed patient in charge of my own health care,” noted Molly McCabe.

Molly’s initial binder started to grow and grow, and she started noticing that specific sections were needed, dividers were created for medications, physician information, insurance information and daily health diaries, upcoming appointments, contact info and test results from every conceivable medical department. Molly’s personal Medical Organizer became the inspiration for a new Medical Organizer – never seen in the marketplace before – Molly’s Med Minder.

Starting September 10^th, Molly’s Med Minder becomes available to the public for purchase. Molly’s Med Minder is participating in the Portland Fall Home & Garden Show, to do public outreach and education as well as sales. You can also purchase the Med Minder online at www.mollysfund.org.
