This webinar is presented by the Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) and the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario.
# Ontario’s 4 million caregivers matter.
Managing medication. Scheduling appointments. Communicating with healthcare teams. These are some of the critical tasks caregivers manage for family, friends and neighbours. When they’re supported, they provide better care, improving health outcomes for patients.
But despite their crucial role, more caregivers are facing burnout and struggling to get by. Almost three in four report that they don’t know how to go on.
That’s why the Ontario Caregiver Organization designed a webinar specifically for primary care teams to improve patient care by supporting caregivers. Join to get practical tips on how to reduce caregiver burnout, along with insight from Jess Rogers, Chief Executive Officer at the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario, and Nancy Ewen, Executive Director at Elliot Lake Family Health Team.
