The Erie St. Clair Community Care Access Centre is benefiting from a $225,000 investment, courtesy of the Local Health Integration Network.
The funding is for the agency’s Intensive Hospital to Home Initiative.
CEO Lori Marshall says the program provides extra help for those who need it.
“What it allows us to do,” Marshall explains, “is bridge some patients from hospital to the home, who need a little bit extra support and personal support worker hours in order to help them to transition very safely.
The program currently has 40 patients, with room to double that number.
