Clinical Education

Progress in health care depends on our capacity for evolution and continuous learning.

See the links below for the latest information on best practices and educational updates.

Collaborative Care

What is Collaborative Care?

Quality and effective health services are best offered in a collaborative team approach that brings together various health and social services professionals with patients/family. Our staff support and complement each other's efforts and provide holistic patient care.
