Mr. Tom Closson, Special Advisor to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care is working with a Steering Committee to develop an Integrated Health Services Plan for Northwestern Ontario which will include advice on the role of Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. The plan will:

Clarify the roles and responsibilities of Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) and other providers in Northwestern Ontario;
  • Define the capacity and resource requirements to fulfill these roles;
  • Consider both the clinical and academic roles of TBRHSC.
  • The Northwestern Ontario District Health Council (NWODHC) is working with Tom Closson and the HayGroup who are providing support to Mr. Closson and the Steering Committee.

    Mr. Closson is inviting members of the public to community consultation sessions (see information above) conducted by the HayGroup so that you may:

    Tell us about any unmet needs for care and/or services;
  • Tell us about any issues in access to the services that currently exist;
  • Identify potential improvements in organization and delivery of services.
