York Region celebrates Personal Support Workers

On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, it is my pleasure to recognize Friday, May 19, 2023, as Personal Support Workers Day.

Personal Support Worker (PSW) Day is an opportunity to celebrate and raise awareness of the work of PSW’s in sustaining our health care system, while also providing high-quality community and in-home care.

Whether in long-term care homes, hospitals community care living or home care settings, the compassionate and dedicated care provided by PSW’s supports many of our most vulnerable residents.

This selfless dedication to the care of others is an invaluable part of our health and social systems, and the contributions PSW’s make to the lives of our residents is immeasurable. Through this commitment, PSW’s provide many in our communities with the choice and confidence to be cared for at home.

On behalf of Regional Council and our residents, I extend our deepest appreciation to all York Region Personal Support Workers and thank them for providing our residents with compassionate care, respect and dignity.

York Region Chairman and CEO
