Physiotherapy Service Gap and Proposed Community Support

community · May 2021 · Denman and Hornby Island Health Care Society buildings

Physiotherapist Christopher Mainella highlights gaps in the Canadian healthcare system regarding access to physiotherapy services, especially for those without extended health benefits. He proposes blocking off weekly sessions on Denman and Hornby Islands on a sliding scale and barter basis, and creating a Community Physiotherapy Pay-it-Forward fund to support those in need.
