Our HELP Ottawa Team
There are many people who are part of our HELP Ottawa Project team, and each person that is involved, and each network, program, organization that is connected with this work, will help shape and guide HELP Ottawa as we aim to support people with advanced age, frailty, and/or chronic and life-limiting illness to live and die, as well as possible, at home or in the community, and to ensure people who are living with grief and loss have the care and support they need.
