The Ottawa Public Health, in partnership with Algonquin College, invites you to the fall session of the Future of Health and Wellness Speaker Series.
The session on October 18 will focus on a topic that is increasingly becoming a critical aspect of Healthcare: housing as Healthcare. This topic is of the utmost importance.
We would like to encourage you to share this invitation with your networks if you don't mind. This event is part of an ongoing speaker series designed to bring together key leaders and influencers from the health and wellness sectors for a conversation about the changes and shifts that will affect our healthcare system in the years to come.
Algonquin College president Claude Brulé will moderate the session and guide a panel of esteemed speakers. Our speakers, Mark MacAulay, President and CEO at Ottawa Salus; Kelli Tonner, Executive Director of the South East Ottawa Community Health Centre; and Professor Tim Aubry, professor of psychology in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa, are all highly respected in their fields, ensuring a high-quality and insightful discussion.
Ottawa is grappling with homelessness and mental health crises, which has led to more people living without stable housing and mental health and substance use health support. By working together to improve access to affordable housing with built-in client-centered health and social services, different sectors can support people to live more stable lives, improve their health, and reduce hospital and shelter pressures.
