THUNDER BAY - People living in Northwestern Ontario can have their say on the strategic direction of health care in the region.
The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre is seeking public input on its upcoming strategic plan 2026, which the hospital says will prioritize community needs and advance partnerships and health system integration.
Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre president and CEO, and Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute CEO, Dr. Rhonda Crocker Ellacott said the COVID-19 pandemic has created many operational challenges for the hospital.
“It is crucial that we continued planning for how we serve our communities post-pandemic,” she said. “To that end, we want to hear from our front-line staff, the public and our stakeholders to help inspire thinking and create priorities over the next five years.”
