Thinking Differently Recreating a Health System We Are Proud Of

Longwoods Healthcare Services Radio

Ontario healthcare landscape.

There was a time when Canadians could confidently claim theirs was the best health system in the world. Time to face reality – that is no longer true. The system faces major challenges, with access to care at the top of the list of concerns. Despite spending more on healthcare than most developed countries, we struggle to create enough capacity to meet the needs of a rapidly growing and aging population.

What can we do to break out of this chronic decline and bring back a sense of vibrancy and optimism to the healthcare enterprise? Brian and Michael will discuss current trends and new ideas with the potential to change the narrative and address the explosive growth in the seniors demographic that is already upon us. There is lots to be optimistic about, if you know where to look. We need to think differently to create a different dynamic.
