Quinte Health is Enhancing Care for Seniors

One of the goal of Quinte Health is to enhance care for seniors. By enhancing care for seniors at Quinte Health, together we can support the overall well-being of the hospitalized elderly patient, reduce the potential negative effects of hospitalization and support aging well at home.
