The local health network hit its first milestone this week with the release of a health service plan that outlines strategies for the next three years.
The extensive document sets out the priorities and activities for the network based on hundreds of interviews and meetings with health-care providers and users in this area.
Set up in the spring, the 14 Local Health Integration Networks in Ontario are designed to oversee the lion’s share of the province’s health-care budget.
The network doesn’t provide services but plans and funds services based on the needs of people and providers in each community.
This area is part of the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant LHIN, which has set up offices in Grimsby. The network takes in the entire Niagara peninsula and stretches into Halton, west past Burford, south from St. Williams to Fort Erie and includes all of Hamilton.
The most important part of the plan so far, says the chair of the LHIN board, has been getting out and meeting the public through a series of open houses across the region."
