Farrah Schwartz’s Expertise Communication in healthcare with patients and families is a complex challenge. Regardless of education, income and cultural background, most people face some sort of challenge when it comes to understanding and using healthcare information. For those who have historically been marginalized or even harmed in institutional settings, it’s even harder to be safe and engaged. I work to address barriers at the system level. Educating healthcare providers, changing the material and communication tactics we use and creating barrier free spaces and resources are just some of the ways that we can work to create safe experiences for all. I have successfully provided education in my jobs at Toronto Rehab and St. Michael's Hospital, as well as at conferences and through publications. My experience in Ontario's healthcare system in policy and program management roles helps me understand the system, while my educational background in Health Advocacy allows me to ask questions to try and understand the patients' and consumers' perspectives and needs. There is much work to be done in this important area. I want to help facilitate this discussion beyond individual hospital walls, across Canada.
