North West LHIN public meeting to get feedback to guide plans

The North West Local Health Integration Network wants to know what people think its priorities should be over the next three years.

The agency is holding public meetings across the region to gather feedback for a plan that will guide it between 2016 and 2019.

Meetings will be held in Thunder Bay Monday and Tuesday.

North West LHIN spokesperson Petronilla Ndebele said the LHIN wants to know what people feel are the most important healthcare services.

"So it may be long-term care, it may be primary care, it may be mental health and addictions," she said.

"We are just listening to people."

A meeting is being held Monday morning at the West Thunder Community Centre in Thunder Bay.

A second meeting will be held at the Oliver Road Community Centre Tuesday evening.
