REPEAT-Media Advisory/Photo Opportunity: Ontario's Leading Physiotherapy Organization to Discuss Its Proposal for Providing Seniors With Much-Needed OHIP-Funded Physiotherapy
PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO, Feb 25, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Thousands of ambulatory seniors across Ontario - including hundreds
in the Peterborough area - cannot access OHIP-funded physiotherapy,
despite the fact that it's a proven and cost-effective way to keep
our seniors healthy and out of the hospital.
Ontario's Designated Physiotherapy Clinics want to change that. They
currently provide high-quality, low-cost, OHIP-funded physiotherapy
to more than 150,000 Ontario seniors, children, social assistance
recipients and disabled persons. The Designated Physiotherapy Clinics
Association (DPCA) has a plan for providing physiotherapy to all
Ontario seniors who need it, in order that they can continue living
in their own homes.
The DPCA proposes to partner with Retirement Residences, Long-Term
Care (LTC) homes, and seniors' activity centres. These facilities
would act as a physiotherapy treatment "hub" for ambulatory seniors.
Please join Tony Melles of the DPCA and Heather Young of Canterbury
Gardens to learn about how Peterborough area seniors would benefit
from the plan.
