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.

Seeking the patient perspective doesn’t have to be complicated; it simply entails a commitment to ask and listen. Patient advisors not only bring a valuable perspective but also share original ideas and unique skills. Including the patient and family perspective changes the conversation and aligns the team’s focus towards common goals.
