It has always been important to be an empowered patient or care partner, but never more so than right now. Healthcare in British Columbia is nothing if not complicated. General practitioners, specialists, waiting lists, residential care, and everything in between seem to all exist independently of each other.

Whether you are self-advocating, or advocating for a loved one, and are facing confusion and challenging decisions, Navigating the BC Healthcare System by Connie Jorsvik is your step-by-step guide to planning ahead, surviving, and thriving.

“Navigating the BC Healthcare System” is a very useful guide for people who really don’t know where to turn, to learn how the system works.” Dr. Paul Sugar, Palliative Care Physician

$33 includes shipping within Canada, plus downloadable kit with Advance Care Planning & in-case-of-emergency forms and documents.

Navigating the BC Healthcare System: A Step by Step Guide by Connie Jorsvik endorsed on Global News by beloved palliative care Dr. Paul Sugar of the Paul Sugar Foundation.

  • "Your book has really exceeded expectations. It opens flat, and the type is clear and easy to read... eminently highlight-able! You have outdone yourself, Connie. Happy I ordered a copy for my son and his wife...knowledge is power.. My husband and I both have completed our Advance Directives using your template, and they are indeed beautiful documents."

  • "An amazing book with everything every family should know and use - and comparatively few families think about until too late. It's not just for older people. Connie Jorsvik is an expert in her field, and her advice is practical and easy to read/follow. I have bought copies for all my Powers of Attorney and family members so they know what I think and wish. Yes, there are other books, but this is the most practical that I have come across, and I highly recommend it."

  • "Thank you for preparing this extensive information booklet. The compilation of this wide range of information not only helps the lay-person, but also frees medical personnel from needing to use valuable time explaining it to them... and will continue as a crucial information resource. Thank you again and best wishes as you continue to assist, advocate for and empower individuals in significant life decisions.”
