Canada Needs a National Seniors Strategy

This is written in support of the CMA of Canada and their campaign for a National Seniors Strategy. I received this email from the Canadian Medical Association of Canada and I thought I would share.

Today Sunday, October 1, is National Seniors Day in Canada. While we reflect on the countless contributions made by our seniors over the years to help build this country, let’s remind ourselves – and everyone who will listen – that they deserve better

You’ve heard the stories. From accessing medication to proper long-term care services, our health care system was not designed to meet the needs of an ageing population. As such, we must now work together to create and implement a national vision for senior’s care in Canada.

Therefore, we ask you to share a letter with your elected officials, your friends and family in your community and help us build this movement, which is already 51,000 strong, and call on our federal government for a commitment to our seniors.

Providing the best care for our seniors should not be an ambitious goal. Our seniors deserve better and we must work together to get there.

Thank you,
