I’m a health lawyer in Toronto
I'm a strong and passionate advocate for improving our healthcare system by making things simpler for those who work in it.
These are my clients
Hospitals, family health teams, mental health centres, nurse practitioner-led clinics, community health centres, birth centres and all sorts of healthcare organizations.
You and I will fix it together
Disputes in health care are messy and complicated, and worries about the law will eat your time and sap your energy. Whatever the problem is, my nineteen years in healthcare law will help us fix it together.
Access a teacher, motivator and speaker
A disengaged and uninterested team leads to poor outcomes. Let me re-sparkle your people with my group and individual teaching and training.
I know health privacy
Privacy breaches can destroy clinical relationships and risk the loss of your reputation, court action, and claims for damages. You can't roll back the clock, but I will help you move forward.
I have awesome free stuff
Tour my brain at no charge by reading my award-winning blog and take away as much as you can carry. Then raid this page for more freebies.
My clients are located all across the province.
I work in small communities, not just the big towns. (OK, that was seven things.)
Now, you tell me something
and you could win a free hat.
Every so often I write a newsletter with information about healthcare privacy, changes in legislation and other things you want to know. Tell me your email address and I'll send it to you. For each newsletter I write, I'll send one person on my mailing list a free Kate Dewhirst Health Law “it depends” wooly hat (no purchase necessary). It might as well be you!
Everybody, meet Melissa.
Melissa is my Office Magician. She runs my office, makes appointments for me and sends out my bills. Melissa is awesome.
