Many people with low incomes in Ontario cannot afford health services not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Program (OHIP). For example, vision and dental care, and prescription drugs. Other publicly funded programs offer these health services, but the programs are difficult to navigate. The Income Security Advocacy Centre (ISAC) produced a Guide to Health Benefits in Ontario for community and health-care workers to help their clients access these programs. This webinar will focus on ISAC’s guide. It will: - explore how income and health are connected
- explain how to use this guide
- review the public programs that help pay for health services not funded by OHIP
- offer tips and examples of how these programs work
- discuss how to help people with precarious immigration status who are not covered by these programs
