Help Shape the Future of
Patient Advocacy and Navigation in Canada

​

CAHAN is a Canadian non-profit organization focused on advancing the emerging profession of Patient Advocacy and Navigation through professional standards, accreditation, and credentialing.

​​

Patient Advocacy and Navigation is rapidly expanding across healthcare, rehabilitation, disability management, insurance, mental health, and community care. This profession is growing because effective Patient Advocacy and Navigation improves coordination of care, strengthens continuity of services, reduces fragmentation, and supports better outcomes for individuals, families, employers, and care systems. But across Canada Patient Advocacy and Navigation services and quality can vary widely because the field has had no professional standards up to this point. CAHAN is addressing this gap.
