Is there a crisis looming in the provision of healthcare for seniors in B.C.? Is a shortage of hospital beds creating a revolving door? Could seniors benefit from an expansion in home-based medical support? These questions and more will be explored at a symposium sponsored by the Jewish Seniors Alliance of Greater Vancouver, Oct. 30. Speakers include B.C. ombudsperson Kim S. Carter, health policy researcher and analyst Marcy Cohen and Dr. Moira Stilwell, Liberal MLA for Vancouver-Langara. The discussion will unfold at Congregation Beth Israel, 4350 Oak St., from 1: 30 to 4 p.m. For more information, phone 604-732-1555 or email [email protected]. Admission and parking are free. Advance registration is encouraged.
