      care in West Island / Kerrisdale / Etobicoke”), “near me” pages
(embed map
      + NAP), hospital-specific discharge pages (UHN, VGH, HSC Winnipeg
      references).

Structured data:

   -

   LocalBusiness + Service on hubs; FAQPage on credit/eligibility posts;
   HowTo for tax-credit walkthroughs; MedicalWebPage for clinical education
   (no medical diagnosis).

   QC/AB; 604-263-7377 VCH; 204-788-8330 WRHA).

Conversion UX:

   city-specific CTAs.
   -

   Offer Lifeguard as a privacy-first add-on for families needing oversight
   between visits (link to TheKey + Montréal explainer).

Content refresh cadence:

   -

   Re-check program amounts & intake numbers every Q1 (tax credits) and Q3
   (health authority changes). Ontario naming change and numbers should be
   re-validated annually.

   oversight, and professionalism.
