A Framework for Addressing Racism in Specialized Geriatric Services

Resources & Education

In response to the reports of racism experienced by our specialized geriatric services (SGS) colleagues, Seniors Care Network convened an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Group in June 2020. The Task Group met on a periodic basis to attain a better understanding of this concerning issue, and developed a framework and an accompanying resource guide to help facilitate our ongoing approach. Seniors Care Network is thankful to our colleagues who contributed to formulating this action-oriented Framework, and who shared their lived experiences with racial discrimination during group discussions.


Our work does not end here. We recognize that discrimination comes in many forms and we are committed to working with our programs and partners to foster an inclusive and non-discriminatory culture across  Central East SGS.
