About
Together we can heal the system;
Together, Healthcare reform is possible.
The issue
The Canadian public insurance system promises to be accessible to all Canadians -providing appropriate quality of care to all those who call these unceded lands home. The truth is far from this utopian ideal. Most patients face several barriers to care ranging from language barriers, unfamiliarity with the system, and prejudice. Even in the best of scenarios, long and painful wait times have become the norm.
Our Purpose
Through our community partners program individuals seeking greater advocacy can be partnered with trained volunteers to help navigate their health care needs. We produce guides-to-care that help people navigate the healthcare system. Our media is meant to make the system more transparent and spark discussions about reform. By bringing together a community of people passionate about healthcare reform we hope to make quality healthcare accessible to ALL.
Healthcare Frontiers Canada (HFC) is a grassroots community organization working to improve the quality and accessibility of care across the nation. We work to produce relevant media to help patients navigate care and partner with individuals and families to advocate for them. Our community-partners form long-term relationships with other people seeking advocacy within the healthcare system. HFC is also a tool for change. By organizing our community of past and present patients we advocate for better healthcare to our elected representatives. We are always seeking to join people passionate about improving healthcare in their communities. If that sounds like you join us here.
