The Corporate Alliance Partnership program is designed to provide a year-long platform for three commercial partners to work closely with the Ontario Long Term Care Association in delivering high-quality programming and educational opportunities to its membership. The program encompasses a multi-pronged, innovative approach, which allows the Association to support its members in knowledge-building and to provide learning opportunities that promote safe, quality long-term care for Ontario's seniors.
