Lauren McNair

Hi I’m Lauren, and my role at Mosaic focuses on social engagement and community outreach to keep our clients, caregivers, and community members active and engaged. I have a strong passion for working towards optimizing health through health promotion initiatives and the importance of utilizing social connection in achieving this.

I joined the Mosaic team in 2022 in previous role as Community Resource and Social Engagement Coordinator where my main focus was to put together our quarterly newsletter that is filled with a variety of events held online, at our Community Resource Centre and with our community partners that focus on empowering older adults to stay active, informed and socially connected. In my new role as Community Outreach and Social Engagement Specialist I have expanded upon the skills I have developed to include driving social prescribing initiatives, and increased collaboration with partner organizations who are also committed to the principles of social connection to foster a better, more holistic approach to care.

Social prescribing is a large part of my role, which is connecting community members to social services that can help contribute to the social determinants of health, and act as alternate pathways to the traditional medical model of care. Collaboration is key to ensure that the programs and services that can help older adults are accessible and ongoing, and I have been able to foster positive relationships with like-minded community partners who share the core value of Mosaic which is person-centered care.

Mosaic Home Care & Community Resource Centre focuses on the person as a whole, considering the physical, medical, emotional, and social needs of a person. Through this person-centered care model we are able to provide the best care for you or your loved ones and ensure that they can live healthy, meaningful and socially connected lives. I love being able to combine my knowledge, passion, and values to help contribute to Mosaic’s community engagement programs and enhance the lives of others.
