Tuesday, May 19th is Support Worker Day, and we’d like to send a big thank you to all of our dedicated, amazing support staff. Every day, CarePartners CSWs support patients and patient families in countless ways across the province. They bring comfort and warmth with their words and actions, and for patients, a smile and some warm words from a CSW may be just what they need to get through a challenging time. These therapeutic interactions are a huge point of light for patients, in what can sometimes be a very isolating experience. Our skilled support workers bring value to our healthcare team and we appreciate you! Please join us in giving a heartfelt thanks to all CarePartners support workers!

April 22, 2026 was Administrative Professionals Day and CarePartners is proud to have such a talented and dedicated group of office and administrative team members. Our administrative staff form a vital part of the CarePartners team, working hard each day across Ontario in roles of branch administration, coordination, and shared services.

If you are following along while our volunteer team spends time in the underserviced areas in Guatemala, you would know that they have treated approximately 645 people so far in three clinics (145, 200, 300). Read our blog as it chronicles the journey, the conditions, the unique health care concerns of the area, and how they earned the trust of the villagers. In addition to assessing for tooth decay, diabetes, hypertension, and stomach issues, our volunteers are also making home visits and providing occupational therapy support. Thanks to the generous donations we received, we've been able to hand out numerous toothbrushes, toothpaste, vitamins, medicine, wheelchairs, walkers, nursing paraphernalia, toys, school bags, etc., which was very well received by families without good access to health care. This is truly a life-changing experience for our fearless volunteers, but also for the recipients of our care in these often overlooked rural, isolated locations.
