During #NationalVolunteerWeek , we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers who generously give their time and energy to support our mission in long-term care. Your dedication makes a difference in the lives of our residents every day. Thank you!

Collectively, with leaders across the health system, we’ve identified existing solutions that can expand to reduce the #LTC wait list, help more seniors with complex care needs age at home, and to fast-track access for those who really need it. Learn more: oltca.com/advocacy/multi…
