Honourariums:

"We hired Patient Pathways to help us navigate a complex surgery for my father-in-law. Our navigator-advocate attended all of the preoperative appointments and helped put together Advance Care Planning documents the day before his surgery. He did not do well, and Connie was by our family's side for 3 days communicating with his doctors. When he died, we were at peace, largely because we understood everything that was happening and that his wishes were honoured. Everyone needs a Connie on their team!”

Dan M.

“Thank you so much for your kindness and assistance in completing our Advance Care-Planning and Directives. Your support in helping us make these difficult decisions helped us immensely. It is a relief to know we have made it clear to our children what our wishes are.”

Navigating the BC Healthcare System
by Connie Jorsvik

After two years and hundreds of hours, I am pleased to introduce my latest book, which I believe is the most thorough resource on this topic available to date. If you are a patient or a care partner in our fast-paced and fragmented healthcare system, this is a step-by-step guide to surviving, and thriving.
