Get involved
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.
Stay informed
It only takes a few minutes to register online. You'll receive our Voices of Change e-newsletter and learn about the patient voice at work in health care change in BC. You will also have a chance to participate in online surveys.
