Living with a life-changing illness can be an incredibly challenging experience for both patients and caregivers. However, being “In the Know” or informed of what the diagnosis and its care truly entails can make all the difference. Palliative care physician Dr. Sammy Winemaker and Canada Research Chair in Palliative Care and Health System Innovation Dr. Hsien Seow have mobilized decades of expertise to share 7 keys or strategies to becoming an activated patient or caregiver. By advocating for our needs and values, we can improve the illness experience for ourselves and our loved ones. Because after all, we are the experts in our own experiences. This workshop is intended for everyone as we all interact with and navigate components of our complex healthcare system. As our discussion may include mentions of grief and loss, we will have a Peer Support Volunteer on hand to provide one-on-one support if needed.
