Ontario’s Senior Care Beyond COVID-19

IFA Global Cafe: In Conversation with Ms. Lisa Levin on “Ontario Senior’s Care Beyond COVID-19”

Everyone’s ageing journey is different. Insights and experiences can help seniors and health providers to navigate challenging circumstances and sudden changes. In many instances, it is important to discuss the subject with empathy, and to have a conversation that acknowledges seniors’ concerns instead of simply telling them what to do.

The IFA is honored to invite Ms. Lisa Levin, a high energy leader, with extensive experience in focusing on advocacy and education and delivering the best possible care for seniors in a respectful way. Register here!
