Seniors, their families and informal caregivers are invited to attend this two hour event to learn more about the MH LHIN's local strategy to increase programs and services for seniors, and to provide input to the LHIN on what community supports and services could help seniors to live healthy and independent lives in their homes. As a part of the Strategy, the Mississauga Halton LHIN has been allocated $60 million over three years, and will be making strategic investment totaling $7.7 million this year in seven key areas including: enhancing supports for seniors and their families affected by mental illness, increasing supports for daily living (housing options for seniors), increasing seniors' adult day programs, enhancing palliative (end of life) services, creating alternatives for hospitalized patients who no longer require acute care, enhancing support for residents of long-term care homes, and expanding health promotion and wellness initiatives. Details regarding the community engagement process and opportunities to get involved will be available on the LHIN's site at www.mississaugahaltonlhin.on.ca  shortly.
