Personal Health Passport

Frequently asked questions

What is a personal health passport?

It is a single, organized document with a person's medications, medical conditions, allergies, care team, and emergency contacts. You bring it to appointments or a hospital, or hand it to a new caregiver, so everyone has the full picture fast.

Why do seniors need an up-to-date medication list?

About two-thirds of Canadian seniors take five or more prescription medications, and one in four take ten or more, which raises the risk of harmful interactions and errors. An accurate list is one of the simplest ways to prevent medication mistakes.

Is my health information private and secure?

Yes. Everything you enter stays in your browser on your own device. We never see it, store it, or send it anywhere. Think of it as a private notepad that only lives on your computer or phone until you print it.

How do I keep the health passport up to date?

It saves automatically on your device, so you can open it any time to add a medication, update a dose, or change a contact. Review it after every medication change or specialist visit, and reprint the copy on the fridge or in a wallet.

Can I print the health passport or save it as a PDF?

Yes. The print button produces a clean, standalone document with the site navigation removed. From the print dialog you can send it to a printer or choose 'Save as PDF' to keep a digital copy or email it to family.
