MAHC considering making changes to new hospital plan
The MAHC says it is revisiting its proposed health system model following extensive analysis and consultation with stakeholders. Potential adjustments may include increasing the number of beds in Bracebridge and considering the continuation of labour and delivery services in the area.
Cheryl Harrison, President and CEO at the MAHC, emphasized the organization's commitment to listening to community feedback and collaborating with internal partners to build an optimal health system. The revised model will prioritize integration, patient-centred care, innovation, and sustainability.
The MAHC says further details on proposed changes will be provided after this week’s physician engagement session. Key considerations include cost implications, staffing models, provincial funding requirements, and municipal contributions.
