Seniors’ Health
Did you know that 16.4% of all seniors live in poverty? Pair this fact with social isolation, barriers to transportation, and lack of support networks and the result is a very vulnerable population. Our Seniors’ Health Centre recognizes these barriers, and provides a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare. Our primary goal is to increase well-being and quality of life by providing one-on-one comprehensive care.
