Get involved

Quote: "I am happy to know that my experiences with the health care system matter, and can be used to help shape a better system." By Colleen, Patient Voices Network Patient Partner.

We are all patients. We all access the health care system at some point, and we have friends and family who access it as well. It is important for patients to participate in decision-making so that BC’s health care reflects the needs and priorities of those it serves – the patients.

As part of the Patient Voices Network you will join over 1000 patients, family members and caregivers who are applying their experiences toward positive change to the health care system.
