Imagine sharing your Patient Voices Network (PVN) journey with health care providers throughout the Pacific Northwest—an experience that will be even more impactful with the two of us co-presenting!

Since 2009, PVN has connected thousands of individuals to collaborate on improving health care. Your passion for increasing public and patient involvement is a vital part of the PVN story. Together, we’ll inspire others to learn from these experiences and deepen their commitment to meaningful engagement in health care. Let’s use our voices to create lasting change and encourage others to do the same. A discussion of an honorarium will be part of this engagement.

I was thrilled to discover the Patient Voices Network, where the array of places to be the voice of a patient is vast and incredibly interesting. Besides my ongoing “gig” with the BC Emergency Medicine Network, I have enjoyed being involved in several one-off initiatives. I love working with professionals who genuinely value the perspectives of their patient partners.
