Essential Care Partner Program

Essential Care Partner Program

The Essential Care Partner Program is designed to allow essential care partners (ECP) access to care settings in order to provide vital support to patients during their stay. Unlike a visitor, who plays an infrequent social role, ECP’s provide patients with consistent support and function as a valued member of the care team. Currently, Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital has an ECP program, and this valuable program is being extended to the greater Couchiching Ontario Health Team members.
