Quote

�Our courtesy calls are in addition to those already being made by health care units and agencies. They are a complement to what is currently being done, and will help us keep an eye on our senior. I invite you to do the same. Pick up the phone, call your aunt, your grandfather, and your parents. It's our turn to be there for them, just as they were there for us when we needed them,� indicated Ren�e Amyot, President of Commission Gatineau, Ville en sant�.
