New video from CPCRN: Case Management and Facilitation for Integrated Primary Care
31 July 2025
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Andréanne Bernier, TUTOR-PHC scholar (2024–2025), for creating two video capsules – available in both French and English – showcasing the vital role of patient partners in the PriCARE project.
These videos feature Ghislaine Rouly, Judy Porter, Jackie Hanson, and Marie-Dominique Poirier, who generously and authentically share their experiences and research engagement. Their contributions beautifully illustrate the richness of collaboration between patient partners and researchers in co-creating knowledge and innovative health solutions.
A sincere thank you to all who contributed to this remarkable collective initiative

📰 New Publication – The Power of Words
18 July 2025

They show how terms like “frequent user” can reinforce stigma, while more inclusive language — such as “person with complex needs” — supports a more human, ethical, and compassionate approach to care.
