CdLS Health Care Notebook

The CdLS Health Care Notebook is the first of multiple tools from the CdLS Foundation that makes accessing and coordinating care more manageable. It provides an easy way to keep track of important information so you can find it and share it any time you need. You can update the notebook in real-time, with the ease of a smartphone or any electronic device.
