This session highlighted the approach that Guelph is taking to effectively leverage community resources in order to accelerate sustainable change and improve connections to services. The Guelph Community Wellbeing Initiative (CWI) started the discussion on social determinants of health. By linking to the Guelph Health Link and by drawing on the experiences of the Prince Albert Community Mobilization Project, these combined initiatives aim to provide more coordinated, person-centred care, fostering collaboration between health and non-health sectors. Presenters shared how this collaborative approach to health delivery leads to the more efficient use of community resources to reduce demands on the health care and other system and achieve better outcomes for individuals, families and the community.
