Julie Vizza

I am a Patient Partner at the University Health Network, whose lived experience as a individual with chronic and complex care needs has strengthened my conviction that the perspectives of patients, as well as, collaboration with and among providers are fundamental in establishing and delivering optimal patient-centred care. Living with, and managing my health needs, while also constantly adapting to and navigating our healthcare system has led to my pursuit of a PhD in Health Science. My own research explores the lived experience of self-management among individuals with multiple chronic conditions and within team-based care settings.
