Public Consultations

In order to keep the community at the centre of the OHT planning process, and to help in the preparation of the progress report, Kawartha Lakes OHT held public consultation sessions to ensure that patients’ voices are heard and needs are met. Attendees shared thoughtful feedback regarding gaps they currently see in their own health care journeys, the need for increased coordination between service providers and increased service across the City of Kawartha Lakes, especially in rural areas.

We are currently exploring virtual engagement strategies. Stay tuned for more information and follow our social media channels below for updates.
