Communicating with your health care team: How good communication can lead to positive health care experiences and outcomes

As you navigate your heart health journey, creating and maintaining an open, trusting relationship with your health care providers can set a solid foundation for joint decision making regarding your health care options.  Join us for this webinar to explore what we know about the health outcomes of patients who have good communication with their health care team, and some strategies you can use to strengthen yours. 

Laura Avelar, a patient with lived experience, will share her insight and Dr. Krystina Lewis will provide us with an overview of what we are learning regarding the link between good communication and outcomes.  Both will speak to strategies that you can use to improve or strengthen your communication with health care providers.  Their presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer period.

Presenters: 

  • Laura Avelar, RN, Patient with Lived Experience, NICU Nurse, The Ottawa Hospital
