I’m pleased to proclaim today as #RehabilitationDay in @ottawacity, in recognition of our world-class health facilities that work to improve the lives of so many people in the National Capital Region and beyond.
September 15th is #RehabilitationDay ! For patients, rehabilitation can improve health outcomes, reduce disability and help individuals remain independent and in their homes well into their older years.
