We want to make sure our programs and services help veterans stay healthier. We want to improve our clients' quality of life and to focus health services on what clients need to keep them healthy, while educating them on preventive measures that can help safeguard their health, independence and prevent illness, injury and disease.

Our goal is a community approach to promote the health of all seniors including veterans and their caregivers, through partnerships with government departments, community agencies, seniors groups and veterans' organizations. Health Promotion initiatives will support, educate and involve veterans and seniors in adopting healthy behaviors, lifestyles and foster independence.
