Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON

8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Friday, April 25, 2014 marks the date when a cross-section of health care leaders and providers will gather at the White Oaks Conference Resort & Spa in the heart of the lovely Niagara region to focus on health policy in an effort to improve the access and quality of care for all Ontarians. Join with us as we strive for coordination of a system that will deliver improved quality patient outcomes and value-for-money.

What does the OntWIG Symposium offer?

The Symposium is an all-day event for a cross-section of acute, community and long-term care community executives, managers and clinicians who share an interest in tackling the fragmented, uncoordinated and uneven access to and delivery of quality wound management services across the Province of Ontario.

The 2014 Symposium has been designed to identify barriers and roadblocks to implementing our recommended provincial Framework. Participants will glean insights from national and local experts and the program has been organized to invite courageous conversations on improving wound care policies specific for access and delivery of quality wound management services in Ontario.

Whether you represent acute care, long term care or the community sector, your valuable input is required in order to meet the challenges ahead. The Symposium will feature thought-provoking insights from national and provincial speakers utilizing round table formats to support and encourage dialogue and brainstorming.

We invite you to join us and become part of the conversation.
