We are pleased to welcome the Ontario Caregiver Association to our 22nd Bi-Annual National Scleroderma Conference Exhibit Hall!

If you support someone in your life who needs you, you're not alone. That's why The Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) exists. They support Ontario's 4 million caregivers: ordinary people who provide physical and emotional support to a family member, partner, friend, or neighbour.

OCO gives caregivers a single place to find the information, services, supports, and resources to help them feel confident and supported in what they do. And where gaps exist, OCO partners with caregivers, health care providers, and other organizations to find new and innovative ways to build bridges so all caregivers have access to the help they need.
