College Registrar and CEO Craig Roxborough had the opportunity yesterday to meet with Minister of Health Sylvia Jones as Vice-Chair of the Health Profession Regulators of Ontario (HPRO).

This is the third year in a row that the Minister has met with HPRO and it was great to continue conversations about how we can strengthen our health-care system.

We look forward to ongoing collaboration with the Minister and other colleges to improve access to care for all Ontarians.
