Toronto, ON – October 1, 2021, On September 23rd, Lifemark Health Group hosted a free public virtual event to increase awareness about dizziness and balance issues called Dizziness Can Be Stubborn – What You Need to Know.

This event was in support of Balance Awareness Week and was hosted by Krista McIntyre, Lifemark's National Director of Program Development & Specialty Services, and Sheelah Woodhouse, National Director of Vestibular Rehabilitation at Lifemark.
