In 2018, SE Health (formerly Saint Elizabeth Health Care) delivered care and support to more than 500,000 people when and where they needed it. We delivered many of these health services to Canadians in their own homes, supporting independent living and freeing up hospital beds for acute care needs. As care in one's home becomes more commonplace, it is critical that Canadians know they are safe.
