FreeSave the date! Join us on Tuesday June 25 for our Annual General Meeting at North York Memorial Community Hall (Burgundy Room A) – just steps away from North York Civic Centre and North York Centre Station on the Yonge-University Subway Line.
Following our order of business, OSSCO has invited special guest speakers to discuss how to navigate the health care and long term care systems.
Navigating Stormy Waters: How to ensure the system works for you and your family
Talking to your health care team or your LHIN to make sure that you get the care you need can be difficult. Learn the essential skills to make the most of your healthcare experience, and how professional healthcare navigation can help when you need that extra support. Using stories “from the trenches”, key strategies will be provided to help you move through the medical system, including strategies to help during the long term care process.
