About Patient Pathways

Serving adult patients of all ages and families facing serious and complex physical illness, injury, increasing age and frailty, and those approaching end-of-life in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.

Established in 2010, Patient Pathways is among Canada’s first independent patient advocacy and healthcare navigation providers.

"My father was in a Vancouver hospital and I was not able to see him regularly as I live out of town. I was increasingly worried about his physical and mental state. Procedures and treatment continued that I knew he would not want... I hired a Patient Pathways advocate, who was able to quickly open up the communication channels. Because of her efforts, he was listened to and got better information. My father died several days later, peacefully with his family at his side… and I take comfort that, with our advocate’s help, I was able to do my very best for him."
