Why Work in Integrated Care?

  • “Initially, my grandparents who slipped through cracks in our health system. Today it’s my broader family, neighbours, and people who send me messages as they try to navigate their complex health in our complex health care system.”

    Dr. Andrew Costa, Research Director

  • “In my experience both as a clinician and as a caregiver for my family, I routinely witness and hear the challenges faced by patients and families and I believe we can do better. I have seen the possibilities when my patients receive patient-centered care and providers work as a team .”

    Dr. Justin Lee, Associate Research Director

  • “I am privileged to be at the table with patients, families, and providers and learn from them. Creating new partnerships, building on collective expertise and energy, and seeing ideas come to life are the most rewarding parts of my day.”

    - Dr. Chi-Ling Joanna Sinn, Research Scientist

  • “Canada has an aging population but a health care system that is too often not friendly to older adults. Integrated care can bridge the gap between health and social services, ensuring that older adults with complex needs receive coordinated, person-centered care across settings.”
