Speaker Connie Jorsvik, Patient Pathways
What do “heroics” mean when it comes to resuscitation and medical care? This is what you need to know before a health crisis, because there is a lot of misunderstanding or lack of understanding about what such terms mean. Patient advocate Connie Jorsvik will help you navigate what you want and what is appropriate for where you are in your health journey.
Connie Jorsvik's book "Navigating the Health Care System" will be available for purchase after the meeting for $25
