The need for better care options for older adults is a major challenge facing citizens, health-care professionals and politicians. Without the necessary planning and funding to allow more people to be cared for at home, Canada’s health and social systems will continue to struggle.

Join Réjean Hébert, former minister of health in Quebec and the founding scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Institute of Aging (CIHR-IA), as he shares his views on how we can better provide home care for older adults.

Following the presentation, Parminder Raina, the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging’s lead principal investigator, will comment on Hébert’s ideas, and then accept questions from the audience.
