Understanding How to Navigate the BC Healthcare System

Presented by Connie Jorsvik, BSN, of PatientPathways.ca, join us to learn the essentials for understanding and navigating our fragmented BC healthcare system.

BC's healthcare system is complex and often difficult to manage on your own, especially when you are unwell. This workshop gives you the essential skills to navigate the system, and how to speak up for yourself or those you care for. 

You will learn:

• how hospitals handle discharge planning, and how to prepare in advance
• the differences between public and private home care
• the various levels of housing available, such as assisted living and long-term care

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by a complex system, you will leave with a clear map of how care works in BC, ensuring you know exactly what to do, and where to go, when your health needs change.

At the end of our chat, we will open the floor for your questions.

Can’t make it? Not to worry, the recording will be emailed to all registrants.

Please share this important event widely!

A Note About Registration

The credit card section for donations on the following pages defaults to a US address format, making entering Canadian postcodes tricky.

Here's the simple fix:

- When you get to the credit card payment section, look for the small US flag icon next to the billing address fields.

- Click the flag, and you will be able to select Canada (CA).

- The address fields will instantly update to Canadian style—provinces like BC/ON and proper postal code format.

- Fill in your details and complete payment.

So sorry for the trouble, and hugest gratitude for your contributions. We're working with Ticket Tailor to improve defaults, but this fix will work in the meantime. If you've tried this and it still doesn't work, please email: connie@patientpathways.ca
