Wednesday, April 19,2006 Care Be part of the future An invitation to join us... Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) have been introduced across the province of Ontario to ensure that residents have improved access to quality health services. LHINs are not-for- profit corporations, created by the government of Ontario, to be responsible for planning, integrating and ultimately funding local health services in 14 different geographic areas of the province. The vision is to develop a health care system that helps people stay healthy, delivers good care when people need it and will be there for our children and grandchildren The Central Bast LHIN encompasses urban and suburban centres, villages and rural areas in a geographic area that includes Scarborough, Durham Region, Northumberland-Havelock, Peterborough, Kawartha and the Halihurton Highlands. The Central East LHIN Board of Directors is working with community residents and local health care providérs to create an Integrated Health Services Plan (IHSP) to guide the delivery of health care services across the. Central East area. Together our goal is to strengthen the accessibility and sustainability of our public health care system. By working with community residents and local health care providers, the first Integrated Health Services Plan, which will be completed in September 2006, will identify: • Demographic profiles of communities in the Central East LHIN; • An assessment of health care needs and services currently available; and, . • Opportunities to improve access. April 24 April 26 April 27 The priorities identified in the Integrated Health Services Plan will be based on the needs of the residents and communities in the Central East LHIN. Priorities identified to date are "Seamless Care fonSeniors" and "Mental Health and Addiction Services." Your input, as together we begin to develop this Integrated Health Services Plan, is important. Please join us at any of the Central East LHIN public consultation sessions to find out how you can be part of the future of healthcare in Ontario.
