The integration has expanded VHA’s range of services and network to over 1,500 health care professionals. With over 300 rehabilitation providers serving clients in seven Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs), VHA Rehab Solutions’ client-centred, community-based approach encompasses a wide range of rehabilitation services including: occupational therapy, physiotherapy, social work, speech-language pathology and dietetics.
