Why Care Compass exists
Care Compass Canada began with a simple problem: healthcare is difficult to navigate when you do not yet know the system. I created it to turn common questions, where to go, what to bring, what happens next, into clear, practical guides.
The resource focuses on everyday healthcare interactions: understanding coverage, finding care, preparing for appointments and following prescriptions, referrals and tests.
Official sources. Plain language. Clear scope.
Canadian healthcare varies by province and territory. Every guide should clearly state where it applies and when its instructions were last verified. Sources stay linked, and substantive corrections remain visible.
