Many are impressed by Andrea’s unwavering commitment and advocacy efforts on behalf of those living with MS, and her diligent guidance on improvements to local primary health care networks in Ontario. Andrea continues to be an active member of OSAC since joining in 2005, while also actively engaging in other areas of community health and development.
Andrea serves as a board member on her local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and is a loving foster mother. She continues to play an important role as an MS Ambassador engaging in dialogue with her MPP and representing MS patients at the national neurological population studies workshops. In addition, she participates on panel sessions when invited, and has acted as an ambassador of the Society speaking to MPPs at Queen’s Park for over four years. It is an honour to celebrate
Andrea’s contributions and her successes in government relations.
Thank you Andrea, for being that positive voice for so many!
