As a community teaching health network, learning and caring happen together at SHN, and that culture of learning helps us continuously improve the experience and quality of care for our patients.

Patients and families often see firsthand how teaching happens alongside care. Learners are always supervised, and their involvement supports careful decision-making, strong teamwork, and clear communication.

During this #PatientExperienceWeek, we are proud to recognize the role learners play in delivering safe, compassionate care.

Patient experience is shaped by every interaction — including how easily you can access your health information. Tools like MyChart help you stay informed, connected, and supported throughout your care journey. Sign up today: SHN.ca/mychart #PXWeek #PXTogether
