Share Your Story, Shape Your Care - LHIN 14 requesting stories about Health Care

LHIN 14 message ... 

The North West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) has launched a community engagement project, Share Your Story, Shape Your Care (www.northwestlhin.on.ca/myvoice), to hear people’s stories and ideas for improving the health system in Northwestern Ontario.

The results will be used to develop the North West LHIN’s second Integrated Health Services Plan (IHSP) – an important plan that identifies health care priorities for the next three years. 

We want to hear stories and ideas from people across our region, including local residents, patients and their families, as well as all health professionals. As a bonus, by completing the survey, you can win great prizes, like a Wii Fit or iPod Nano!

To begin the survey or for more information, please visit www.northwestlhin.on.ca/myvoice.

For those wishing a paper copy, it is available online or by contacting the LHIN office.

The site will remain active until February 28, 2009.

Help to spread the word!

You can help us ensure that your community, clients, colleagues, networks, friends and family have a voice in this project, and health planning and allocation in our region. We encourage you to distribute this information broadly, by forwarding this message to your distribution lists, displaying the attached poster, or contacting the LHIN for communication resources (e.g. website icon to link to survey, printed copies of poster, letter for newsletter, presentation to a group). For additional information, to request communication materials or to suggest other methods that may work well to engage your community and stakeholders in this project, please contact me at the address set up for this project: myvoice@lhins.on.ca or by telephone.  

Thank you in advance for your support in helping those living across Northwestern Ontario have a voice in local health care planning and decisions!
