Let’s Talk IHSP!
Thank you to the more than 150 cross-sector participants who attended our recent Central LHIN Integrated Health Service Plan Launch Series sessions. Participant feedback was very positive and the input we received on a range of health system challenges and opportunities will be used to help inform important planning activities at Central LHIN.
Here's what one participant had to say:
This event was a great opportunity for participants to raise awareness and educate the LHIN from a health service provider perspective: to let the LHIN know more about the challenges and barriers our clients face when they try to access services.

Over the summer months we will synthesize the feedback we received and report back to participants in September on next steps.
Thank you as well to our health service providers who – along with our CEO Kim Baker – provided the feature presentations at each of the four sessions, sharing their experiences in launching programs targeted to supporting the IHSP and enhancing care and services in our communities.
