Dr. Brown’s research focuses on supporting people with complex health and social needs to stay at home in their community, despite health challenges. Her work has an emphasis on involvement of individuals and communities in the research process, to ensure that the work and its findings are relevant to those that it is intended to serve. She currently has two main foci: One is smooth and high quality transitions across the health-care continuum, for example, from hospital to the primary care setting. The other is working with First Nations communities to support aging in place.
Dr. Cara Brown is an assistant professor in the department of occupational therapy at the College of Rehabilitation Sciences, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba. She is also a licensed occupational therapist.
