Expanding physio for seniors Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn recently announced the Province is expanding access to publicly-funded, clinic-based physiotherapy services to more communities across Ontario. Beginning in August, one-on-one physiotherapy, group exercise and fall prevention services will be available to more seniors province-wide, stated a press release from Flynn. "It's not right that seniors and other patients in some parts of Ontario don't have access to publicly-funded physiotherapy," Flynn said. "We are expanding access to services as part of our plan to help more than 200,000 more seniors stay healthy, active and independent." The expansion comes with a $44.5 million price tag. "Locations where clinic-based services are currently provided will have the opportunity to continue to deliver those services. In addition, new locations in more communities will be funded to improve geographic access to eligible Ontarians," stated the release. "This funding will enable the preservation of existing services and the expansion of access for 90,000 more seniors and eligible patients, benefitting 150,000 people in total." Physiotherapy providers who are interested in providing publicly funded clinic-based physiotherapy services are encouraged to review the guidelines and submit an application, available at http://bit. ly/11ypzXp. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care will accept completed electronic applications until Sunday (July 7). 3 | Wednesday, July 3, 2013 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Helping You Make Smart Decisions About Your Money Voted Number 1 Financial Planner 10 Years inside today's Editorial Sports Beaver www.insideHALTON.com 6 13 Artscene Classified 12 14 Home Sweet Linens, Real Estate, Rona Home and Garden, Goldbook, On The Level, National Sports, Home Depot, Sears, Golf Town MBA, CFP, R.F.P., CIM, FCSI Certified Financial Planner Peter Watson SINCE 1991 *All flyers not necessarily delivered to all homes OUTDOOR LIVING VISIT OUR 15,000 SQ.
