鈥淭he Symposium is the result of an exemplary collaboration between l鈥橝gence and RUIS 平特五不中. A collaboration that reflects both the large and small things that we can achieve to the greatest benefit to the health of the population when we join forces, 鈥渁dded the CEO of l鈥橝gence, Mr. Jacques Boissonneault .

The event, which was held under the theme 鈥淭he ties that empower us鈥�, helped to strengthen existing partnerships and gain new knowledge while allowing participants to share their common concerns on topics including the continuum of services in primary care , aging, chronic pain and illness, accessibility and equity of care, as well as 聽potential clinical telehealth projects . This second symposium was rigorously planned to meet the needs of the professionals attending, 聽resulting in many high-level discussions with presentations offered of the highest quality. Offering twenty workshops presented by some sixty sought after and experienced speakers is in itself a feat.
