Part of KO Home and Community Care team was proud to attend the Annual Northern Ontario Home and Community Care Conference this week!

This year’s theme, “Bringing Care Home: Taking Care of Our Own,” truly resonated with our team and the work we do every day in our communities. It was a wonderful opportunity for learning, connecting with colleagues from across the North, and reflecting on how we can continue to strengthen the care and support we provide.
