RNAO CEO @DorisGrinspun says #ECCO4 is RNAO’s blueprint for a health system anchored in primary care and integrated community care. "We call for a shift from hospital-centric services to prevention-focused, people-centred care....ECCO 4.0 lays out a vision for a transformed health system rooted in strong community care and anchored by a primary care sector that is accessible, equitable, person-centred, integrated, and publicly funded." #NursingWeek2025 #NursingWeek
