Kathryn Murphy RN, BScN

     As a Canadian Armed Forces member, I was fortunate enough to work with diverse populations with varying health projections throughout my many job opportunities in working as a Registered Nurse. These experiences, within the many different civilian institutions I have worked, have increased my awareness that our public health care system in Canada is surely lacking.  Now, as a recent veteran, I am experiencing first hand, what it is like to navigate this difficult, policy-ridden system, that prevents our wonderful health care providers from doing their job effectively. I find myself asking, "WHY?!"

     Why must Canadians struggle with their chronic and terminal health concerns... AND the health care system? Health care has never been easy; it is a different language entirely from what we speak. Now, newer policies make it more difficult to access services, as we move to online platforms. With today's changes to communication, it is becoming more difficult to schedule your life without a computer.

     As I continue on my journey of transitioning back into the civilian sector, I hope to be able to help you navigate your journey; through health care and end of life issues. As an End-of Life Coach and Educator, I can help you live again, during this vulnerable and painful time. Let me be your advocate and research-assistant, your companion to your health care appointments, your guide and your support.
