Have you ever felt overwhelmed by having to share your whole medical history with a new provider?
It’s hard to know where to start sometimes, which is why I created my Face Sheet Template – you can download your own copy for free here!
I use my Face Sheet profile to communicate my:
- Current diagnoses
- Personal medical history
- Family medical history
- Current medication list
- Current provider list
- Current goals
- What brings my life meaning and what is important to me!
Why is this helpful?
My face sheet helps me stay organized, as I often have a hard time remembering my health history off the top of my head!
It also helps personalize me to my new providers. Of course, they often want me to fill out their own customized health history forms as well. But you can use this as a separate handout if you feel so inspired and comfortable!

I originally shared this template in my self-paced “RA Roadmap” online course and my “Rheum to THRIVE” support and education program. It falls into the “Executive Functioning” unit, which is all about “how to become the CEO of your care team.” Learn more about these programs in the hyperlinks above!
