About the SE Research Centre
The SE Research Centre conducts impact-oriented health services research and evaluation to positively influence how people live and age at home and in their communities in Canada and around the world.

Our purpose is to respond to the needs of people, their caregivers, and health and social care providers, to develop evidence-based solutions to tough health and social care problems.
Our goal is to synthesize, generate, translate, adapt and mobilize scientific evidence in the co-design, implementation, and evaluation of person- and family-centred health and social care services.
