Long-term care in Canada

John Stackhouse, SVP Office of the CEO will interview Dr. Samir Sinha, Director of Geriatrics at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, and director at National Institute on Aging, and Leanne Kaufman, President, RBC Royal Trust on the challenges facing older Canadians in this pandemic, what they can do to protect themselves and how caregivers can support them now and in the future.

Meet the speakers:
