On June 3rd, CFGS welcomed Dr. Michael C. Wolfson for a Signature Series Global Talk to discuss how the COVID crisis has sparked a new found urgency in addressing the challenges associated with long-term care.

Details: With baby boomers aging, the cost of long-term care is set to triple in the next 30 years. What’s our plan for dealing with this? We’ve known for decades that the boomer generation and Canadian demographic changes are coming. Sadly, in recent months this crisis has come to the forefront as the majority of deaths from COVID-19 have occurred in long term care facilities. Join Dr. Michael Wolfson to examine this urgency and how addressing the long-term care challenge must now more than ever be a national priority.

Dr. Michael C. Wolfson received his B.Sc with honours from the University of Toronto jointly in mathematics, computer science and economics in 1971, and then a Ph.D. from Cambridge in economics in 1977. He retired as Assistant Chief Statistician, Analysis and Development (which included the Health Statistics program and the central R&D function), at Statistics Canada in 2009. He was awarded a Canada Research Chair in Population Health Modeling in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa for 2010-2017.
