Webinar: Virtual connection and loneliness during COVID-19 among RTOERO members

Presented by the RTOERO Foundation and featuring Dr. Paula Rochon, RTOERO Chair in Geriatic Medicine and Dr. Rachel Savage, Scientist at Women’s College Research Institute.

This presentation will share results of a survey that was conducted in May 2020 with RTOERO members to understand what online and technological strategies older adults used at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to address loneliness, and in doing so, what barriers to access technology were experienced.
