Canadian Healthcare Navigation Conference, April 15-16, 2021, Virtual Conference

The Inaugural Canadian Healthcare Navigation Conference will take place virtually on April 15-16th, 2021.

Due to the current global health situation with COVID-19, we had to postpone the inaugural conference (originally planned for April 30-May 1st 2020). We have now selected the new dates, which are April 15-16, 2021. Those who registered for the 2020 dates have been provided a full refund via the original payment method through EventBrite. You can contact navigationconference@gmail.com with any questions.

We advise everyone to take all necessary precautions with regard to their own health and safety. The Government of Canada has updated information on the state of the Coronavirus disease.

About

Our goal is to create a platform for the sharing of best practices in navigation as well as for knowledge translation and exchange.

The inaugural Canadian Healthcare Navigation Conference (CHNC) will be hosted in partnership between NaviCare/SoinsNavi at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John and the Family Navigation Project at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto.

Our keynote speakers are Dr. Karen Freund, (Expert in developing models of patient navigation), and Ms. Keli Anderson (President & CEO of FamilySmart in Vancouver BC).

In order to create opportunities for the involvement of individuals with lived experience (i.e., patients and families) at our conference, we will be offering a number of registration subsidies to support attendance. These subsidies will be offered through an application process, and will be reviewed by the conference organizing committee. To apply for a registration subsidy, please contact: navigationconference@gmail.com for more details.
