Understanding immigrant seniors’ needs and priorities for health care

This report, authored by Vivien Runnels, draws from an extensive engagement of immigrant seniors and their caregivers, as well as health care service providers in the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) region of Ontario, to define immigrant seniors’ health care needs and the challenges and constraints they encounter when seeking health services. The report identifies important priorities to strengthen the capacity of the health care providers to meet the needs of immigrant seniors. The research was conducted collaboratively by OLIP and the Southeast Ottawa Community Health Centre and funded by the Champlain LHIN.
