Inspiring Impact with Lisa Levin

Lisa Levin's passion for seniors' care started when she was just a child, watching her young and intelligent grandfather battle dementia. Today, as CEO of AdvantAge Ontario, Lisa and her team are the voice of not-for-profit seniors' care, dedicated to supporting their members in creating the best possible aging experience.

Again this year, HIROC and AdvantAge Ontario have come together to produce the Inspiring Impact podcast mini-series. This four-part series highlights several amazing presenters at the 2022 AdvantAge Ontario convention, and explores the innovation and passion at play in the long-term care sector.

Today HIROC's Philip De Souza chats with Lisa about her organization's work, what delegates can look forward to at the convention, and what drives Lisa to push for change in the sector.
