We’ve had a couple of great examples recently of the strength of our relationships with funders in both provinces.  This comes from the hard work of our teams from across both provinces – focusing of course on delivering great care, but also on ensuring that we are working with our funders to help meet their financial and policy objectives.

In Halifax on June 23rd, Jeff Densmore, regional director for the central and western zones, along with his team at the VON Halifax office and clinic, hosted Nova Scotia Minister of Health and Wellness Leo Glavine as he announced to the media details of this year’s home care budget.  The Minister’s words underscored his commitment to VON’s sustainability in the province.  Jeff spoke on behalf of VON.

On July 20th, Adrienne Vanderweg, District Manager of Community Supports in Grey-Bruce and Perth-Huron hosted Ontario Deputy Premier Deb Matthews at a news conference in our Stratford office.  VON’s Adult Day Programs and caregiver support were front and centre, and Deb Matthews also took the time to tour our Romeo Court Adult Day Program.
