Resources and Support for Congregate Living Centres during COVID-19 and Beyond
The Wellness Hub is an initiative led by the Knowledge Translation Program at St. Michael’s Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, in collaboration with over 20 project partners.
The aim of the Wellness Hub is to support key stakeholders in congregate living settings such as long-term care homes and shelters, prevent and manage infectious disease outbreaks and optimize physical and mental wellness both during and beyond COVID-19.
The Wellness Hub is comprised of five main branches:
