Compassionate Care Programs

in Canada

Poverty is a major determinant of health. Grim living conditions of low-income families have a huge impact on their health and well being. In Canada, “there are approximately 1 in 10 Canadians, including 1 in 10 children and 1 in 4 First Nations children living in poverty. Systemic poverty is the root cause of many health and social problems in Canada.” (Canada without Poverty)
