Talking Seniors’ Care:
Donna Rubin
30 minutes with the CEO of the Ontario Association of Non-Profit
Homes and Services for Seniors (OANHSS)
BUSINESS VIEW: I saw the founding date was around
1919 and your association is coming up on a signifi-
cant anniversary.
DONNA RUBIN:
Yes, we’ll be celebrating 100 years in
2019. We’re one of the oldest healthcare associations
that I’m aware of in this part of the world.
BUSINESS VIEW: You may be one of the oldest of any
kind of association we may be aware of as well –
not too many of them last that long, no matter what
they’re doing.
RUBIN:
Yes, it’s interesting that people came together
at that time and decided that an association of provid-
ers was important. They had a common mission to pro-
vide care to the elderly -- and infirm -- at that time. They
shared a belief in not-for-profit delivery of services and
