Spotlight on Family Councils

SPOTLIGHT ON FAMILY COUNCILS

ILTCCABC has spent the last year promoting who we are and what we do. We now have active websites, weekly social media, monthly news, an expanding education portal and now advertising in directories.

ILTCCABC is becoming better known in our health authorities as we align with organizations. We have developed relationships with our health authorities as we participate and have a place on the agenda at the Regional Resident and Family Council Network (RRFCN) meetings.

None of this would be possible without our dedicated group of volunteer family caregivers and long-term care advocates. SPOTLIGHT on family councils celebrates family council successes from around our province

ILTCCABC newsletter team want to hear from you! Our goal is to feature different regional family councils each quarter! Send your SPOTLIGHT to communications.iltccabc@gmail.com
