Because your voice matters.

Subscribe to find out how to get involved

The Patient Voices Network (PVN) newsletters support your participation as a patient partner. The weekly Engagement Opportunities e-blast is the primary source of information on how you can get involved as a patient partner. This is how you find out about opportunities to work with health care organizations!

We also offer a monthly Patient Voice Mail newsletter, which shares what’s happening across the network (see some of our previous newsletters). The email newsletters originate from our provider, Cyberimpact, and you’ll be able to unsubscribe at any time. If you have questions, please email pvn@healthqualitybc.ca or phone at 1.877.282.1919.

The question I like to ask health care employees is ‘Who is this for?’ and ‘Do we have the right people at the table?’ As a health care employee, I see how easy it is to fall into doing for, rather than doing with patients. The voices of the patient, family and caregiver are essential to ensure the patient is central to the direction and focus of the work being done.
