UBC Peer Navigation Program Offers Guidance and Support for Prostate Cancer Patients

Cancer treatment involves decisions and effects that often overwhelm and scare patients. To help in these delicate moments, the UBC School of Population and Public Health created a unique peer navigation program to match prostate cancer survivors as peer supporters for patients undergoing treatment.

Digital Tools Enhancing Health Care

Remember a few months ago Interior Health was looking for patient partners to help create MyHealthPortal? There were three engagement opportunities about it over the past few months: Participant, MyHealthPortal Patient Focus Group, Member, MyHealthPortal Steering Committee and MyHealthPortal Patient Advisory Committee.

We're happy to say that the portal is now online, and 86,000 people have already signed up! Patient partner Diane Edlund participated in the development process and spoke about her experience to News@IH.
