The event, jointly organized by Réseau Santé en français de la Saskatchewan and Vitalité 55+, took place at the Cité universitaire francophone of the University of Regina.
On Friday, during the Vitalité 55+ annual general meeting, the organization’s executive director, Éric Lefol, highlighted the launch of the Service 55+ pilot project, which it aims to do So that seniors can stay at home longer and in good health
.
We are trying to find seniors who are in an isolated situation, in a situation where their mobility is limited, so that we can bring teams of volunteers to clean their gardens, clean the house and drive them to doctor’s appointments
he explains.
Although funding remains an issue, Éric Lefol is still proud of the project that is beginning.
On Saturday, during the annual general meeting of the Réseau Santé en français de la Saskatchewan, its President Abdoulaye Yoh indicated that the 2023 Health and Vitality Forum was an opportunity to commemorate the progress made.
For the first time in Saskatchewan, we have data on the Health Department’s bilingual capacity. In other words, we have data on the health professionals who can provide health services in French
he notes.
Several projects involving French-speaking services that have been carried out in recent years were also presented during the forum, such as the TAO Tel-Aide hotline and the Gravelbourg medical shuttle.
