North West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN 14) hosting community meetings
Community meetings are planned for Red Lake (June 12) and Sioux Lookout (June 15) to share information about the new health agency being developed to provide services across this region.
The North West Local Health Integration Network, or LHIN - http://www.lhins.on.ca/english/NorthWest/NorthWest.asp, is a new organization designed to plan, coordinate and fund health services in Northwestern Ontario, including hospitals, community care access centres, home care, long term care homes, community health centres, community support services and mental health and addiction services.

The North West LHIN is now in the process of holding public meetings in communities across the region to talk about the role of the LHIN and to obtain the public's input into their first Integrated Health Services Plan (IHSP) which will identify:
- What is working well in health services in Northwestern Ontario
- What are some unmet needs for care and / or services
- What are some opportunities to improve:
- access to health services
- organization and delivery of services
Everyone is invited to these public meetings in urban centres across the region. People are invited to let them know if there are any special needs so arrangements can be made to help people attend a nearby session.
