RAISING THE PATIENT VOICE
Our mission is to amplify the patient voice.
Join us and support our current priorities:
Palliative Care and Medical Assistance in Dying
Most Canadians want to die at home. Yet, nearly 70% die in hospitals away from loved ones. Patients Canada is focusing on improved palliative care services that better meet the preferences of individuals.
Home Care
Canadians look forward to receiving more care in the home as they age. Yet, recipients of home care experience delays, rationed care and little control over services they need and want. Patients Canada is focusing on more flexibility of home care services and greater choices and options for recipients.
