Join us to explore practical approaches to fostering more equitable engagement with a broad diversity of people in the health system. This session features two examples of initiatives designed to address inequity and offer more inclusive care: Doctors of the World and Caring Community.
Learn about the work Doctors of the World is doing to ensure and defend access to healthcare for people who are excluded and in vulnerable situations, both in Canada and abroad. This includes clinical and mental health support as well as peer harm reduction.
Learn more about the Caring Community Model, an internationally recognized model for integrated care that was adapted to respond to the unique challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness in Montreal during the pandemic. Pairing primary care providers with a peer support worker generated a sense of social support and hope for both patients and providers and proved to be an effective strategy to mitigate harmful impacts of the pandemic.
