Thanks for our study partners
Our partnership with EMBOLDEN will enhance the awareness… about valuable community resources.
“Compass Community Health supports each clients’ health journey, helping them overcome obstacles to health. Our partnership with EMBOLDEN will enhance the awareness of involved clients and team members about valuable community resources and services. EMBOLDEN provides an opportunity for networking and relationship building among healthcare and service providers, leading to improved client navigation through available health-related resources. Clients involved in the study will also be able to experience the benefits of group participation, impacting multiple components of health. We hope that our Community Health Centre’s partnership with EMBOLDEN contributes to the wellness of our clients and seniors living in the Hamilton community, providing new insights into effective strategies for healthy aging.”
Partnering with EMBOLDEN will allow another opportunity to bring research to life through innovative, best practice, community based programs.
“The YMCA is a charitable organization with a vision of creating vibrant and healthy communities where everyone belongs and has the opportunity to reach their potential. From social isolation to managing chronic health conditions, many of our neighbours face daily barriers that limit their ability to build healthy, thriving lives. Partnering with EMBOLDEN will allow another opportunity to bring research to life through innovative, best practice, community based programs. Partners and participants in this study will continue to learn about the importance and impact of a multi-sectoral approach along the health continuum. As a partner we look forward to learning the results of this important study to inform future healthy aging strategies and support the overall well-being of our community”.
Partnering with the EMBOLDEN project opens many doors and opportunities for senior supports, and it is an essential aspect of research on the older population.
“Senior isolation is a common challenge faced by the older population, and Wesley Urban Ministries works to remove these barriers and provide services that benefit everyday life. Advocating for accessible resources, empowering others to reach their full potential, and seeking opportunities that uplift individuals are only a few of the attributes Wesley Urban Ministries. Having worked as a seniors outreach worker at Wesley Urban Care for over a year, I have met many seniors who feel isolated and have fear of integrating themselves into society. With the EMBOLDEN project, seniors in the community can have more reliable supports and services accessible to them. As a result, having a sense of community is strengthened which improves quality of life in many ways than one can imagine.

To bring a greater appreciation of the impact of physical activity on overall health & wellbeing in older adult populations and increase the reach of our recreational programs.
“The City of Hamilton, Recreation Division is excited to work together with EMBOLDEN to increase the overall health & wellbeing in targeted older adult populations. We are looking forward to having this partnership help us reach a population of older adults we currently do not service and inform them of our programs and opportunities we have across Hamilton. We want to help our community populations understand the importance of physical activity and social interaction and how it positively impacts their day-to-day lives, and set them up for success in recreational activities in the future”.
