Ontario is in the midst of the largest overhaul of its health-care system in years. The advent of Ontario Health, and the introduction of Ontario Health Teams, creates exciting opportunities for health providers. It also presents new challenges to overcome.

The Public Affairs Association of Canada (PAAC) and the Alzheimer Society of Ontario are partnering to bring together health sector leaders for an evening of insight and learning, focused on where we are, where we're going, and how we'll get there. The interactive panel will feature decision-makers from across the spectrum of health care, providing a well-rounded overview of how different players are embracing the ongoing changes.

Opening remarks to our event will be delivered by MPP Robin Martin, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health.

Our confirmed panelists for this event are:
