The Ontario Health Coalition is shining the spotlight on Ontario’s PSW shortage.
The advocacy group along with Unifor 127 will be hosting the event this afternoon.
Starting at 1pm people who have lived and experienced the shortage will share their stories and experiences in long term care homes and offer recommendations.
According to the coalition, there are about 80,000 long term care residents in Ontario and long term care homes report that they are working with shortages on almost all shifts, every day.
Rural areas are hardest hit.
The Health Coalition put together a report in collaboration with the union following a number of discussions with stakeholders and will release it today.
