Health Cities

Thank you for the kind words, The Evergreens Foundation! 💚

Your team plays an important role in supporting seniors in your rural community, and we’re proud to contribute to that work The iPads will help enhance virtual care, connection, and overall well-being for residents—opening the door to more accessible and engaging health solutions.

We look forward to building further collaborations to support innovative programs that make a real difference.

In honour of Rural Health Week, we would like to thank Lisa Laferriere (Vice President, Strategy) at Health Cities in Edmonton, for 2 brand new iPads that will be used to help maximize our senior's health & well-being virtually. As we know, technology has become a profound tool for our residents at The Evergreens Foundation as it supports communication with loved ones, education and learning new skills and it has been a part of providing some of our Virtual Health Collaboration projects. Without technology, we would not be able to bring some life changing programs into our facilities. This thoughtful gift will continue to help bridge-the-gap between many wellness domains that we strive to achieve at our sites.
We are looking forward to our new relationship with Health Cities in continuing to bring valuable programs to our communities.
