Ontario’s population is aging, and more people are living longer with chronic conditions, multiple health issues, and increasingly complex care needs. This demographic shift is expected to increase demand for health services and presents an opportunity to reimagine how care is delivered so people can maintain their health, function, quality of life, and meaningful connections with their communities for as long as possible. Meeting the needs of an aging population will require more than expanding existing services. It will require strengthening integrated, person-centred models of care that support people across the care continuum, improve access to care closer to home, and promote health, function and quality of life over time. It also means co-designing services with older adults, patients, and caregivers, to ensure that care reflects the needs and experiences of the people it serves. The stories featured in this issue of Health System News show how hospitals and their partners are putting these principles into practice.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) could transform diabetes management for millions of Americans with type 2 diabetes who don't take insulin, according to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The clinical trial found that adults using CGMs spent approximately five additional hours each day within their target blood sugar range compared with those receiving routine care. Nearly twice as many CGM users also achieved an A1c level below 7%, a common treatment goal for people with diabetes.
