Planning your delegation to AOHC conference? Don't wait another day to register!
As your centre's fiscal year wraps up, are you budgeting to send a delegation to AOHC's upcoming Primary Health Care conference June 5th and 6th in Richmond Hill?
This is the year to send as many delegates as possible. Dr. Samir Sinha, expert lead on the provinces' senior strategy, Don Drummond who led the Commission on the Reform of Ontario's Public Service and Charles Pascal, the provincial government's former advisor on Early Learning are just a few of our plenary speakers addressing our hot-button theme: working better together to improve health and wellbeing.
Learning sessions cover topics related to the provinces' Action Plan for Health Care as well as AOHC's emerging vision for an integrated Community Health and Wellbeing system.
Whether your centre's board members are looking for guidance on strategic direction, or your staff are looking for new ideas on how to improve programs and services, our AOHC conference will not disappoint.
