Neil Elford, our Director of Spiritual Health, Misson and Ethics reflects on National Catholic Health Care Week. The work of Canada's 129 Catholic health providers is particularly important in times of crisis when those who are most vulnerable or marginalized tend to be further silenced. We are proud of the work we do to instill hope in others and to make a difference in quality of life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a-2FlKFTBo&feature=youtu.be
