June is Seniors Month. It's a time to celebrate older adults across Ontario and recognize the important role they play in our communities.

RPNs support seniors in many ways: providing care, building trust, advocating for their needs, and helping them maintain their health, independence, and quality of life.

This month, we honour seniors and recognize the nurses who care for, support, and advocate for them every day.

Thank you to MPP Robin Lennox for meeting with our CEO, Dianne Martin, to discuss key priorities for RPNs, including wage parity, nurse-to-patient ratios, and mental health supports, as well as our new report, Understanding the Role and Value of RPN Care in Ontario.

Registered Practical Nurses play an essential role in strengthening care teams, supporting patients and families, expanding health system capacity, and driving innovation across Ontario’s healthcare system.

We appreciate the opportunity to share how RPNs are helping advance safe, high-quality, accessible care for communities across the province.
