“It’s really about prevention,” says Poirier. “More pre-
ventative programs to help people stay healthy. A great
example is our adult day program for people with de-
mentia. There is one gentleman in his 80s who drops
off his wife for the day. She gets social interaction, a
nice hot meal, and exercises. He gets to go downhill
skiing! So, he has the much-needed break and then
they are both happy to see each other.”
Looking ahead, Jo-Anne Poirier states her own posi-
tive vision for the future of VON Canada: “Continuing
to take that business rigor to an organization that has
a wonderful social mission - that’s my plan.”
