We’re proud to be part of the Extensive Needs Service (ENS) – a first-of-its-kind
partnership providing wraparound care for children with urgent and complex needs, and
their families across Ontario – including right here in Brant County.

Thanks to annualized funding from the Ontario government – especially the Ministries of
Health and Children, Community and Social Services – and in collaboration with
McMaster Children's Hospital, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, CHEO, and 30+ partners (like @127644350608842, @2168582040031775, @136997583109885, and more) this service ,can continue to support some 1,100 children and families each year.

Early outcomes are showing improved child health, reduced family stress, and fewer
hospital and emergency visits – proof of what’s possible when we wrap care seamlessly
around the whole child and their family.
We’re proud to be part of this integrated, inclusive and innovative model of care. ❤️
