Spectrum Health Care (SHC)

As a proud Friend Sponsor of the 2025 Home Care Ontario Symposium, we were excited to see critical conversations about the future of home care taking centre stage today! Spectrum CEO and Board Chair of Home Care Ontario, Sandra Ketchen, opened the symposium with impactful remarks and set the tone for discussions on building a strong, sustainable home care system to support Ontarians in accessing high-quality care where they want it most — at home. This future of home care is made possible by dedicated frontline workers such as Personal Support Workers! Congratulations to Clara, a PSW with Spectrum for over 20 years, who was also honoured today with Home Care Ontario’s - Frontline Worker of the Year Award in the PSW/HSW category. Clara’s compassion and commitment truly embody the heart of home care and the essential role frontline health care professionals play in delivering exceptional, patient-centred care.

At Spectrum, we believe leadership has the power to shape the future of health care.   This week, we had an incredible experience at our GLOW Big Leadership Event, where leaders from across the Spectrum family in Ontario and Quebec came together to learn, collaborate, and elevate their leadership skills. Guided by our amazing facilitator Jason Thomson, the sessions combined thought-provoking discussions, engaging team-building activities, and practical tools to help leaders make a meaningful impact. Our commitment is clear: to continue supporting and developing our leaders so they can lead with purpose, inspire change, and continue to empower their teams to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care to the communities we serve. Together, we are shaping the future of health care.   Want to see how leadership shines bright at Spectrum? Click to see the event highlights! 

We are pleased to partner with Ontario Health atHome to expand Ontario’s fall and winter vaccination program, ensuring that more patients have access to essential immunizations.

Last week, Chantel Marshall, Raju Bains, and Karen Harte from our team had the pleasure of visiting Wellbrook Place to present a cheque to Partners Community Health on behalf of the Spectrum Health Care Foundation. This donation was made possible entirely through the generous donations of our incredible employees! This donation will support the addition of iPads in every neighbourhood at Wellbrook Place, helping residents order meals via an app that ensures dietary accuracy, fluid consistency, and that adaptive equipment needs are met. This technology will also support an interactive, easy-to-read menu that promotes choice and engagement, enhancing both safety and the overall dining experience for residents at Wellbrook Place. Thank you to the PCH team for the warm welcome and tour! Watching the technology in action was inspiring, and it’s exciting to see how expanded iPad access will make a difference in enhancing care and resident empowerment.
