The Hills of Headwaters Cooperative Ontario Health Team (HOHC OHT) recently hosted the Caledon Health Summit at the Southfields Community Centre.
The event brought together elected officials, health care leaders, and community representatives to discuss the future of health and social services in Caledon.
The three-hour meeting focused on demographics, health and social outcomes, existing challenges and opportunities within the health care system, as well as strategies to improve resident experiences.
“Our government is making record investments in our healthcare system and, the Caledon Health Summit represents an important opportunity to share the progress we have achieved to deliver more connected and convenient care in our community, and across the province,” explained Dufferin-Caledon MPP and health minister Sylvia Jones.
“I look forward to continuing to work with local partners as our government continues to expand access to care, including through our Primary Care Action Team, which will connect every person in Ontario to primary care, in their community.”
Discussions also included best practices from other jurisdictions and a shared vision for integrated health and social services in Caledon. One of the key outcomes of the summit was establishing a commitment to collaboration on the HOHC OHT’s Caledon Health Plan.
“As Caledon continues to experience significant growth, ensuring access to high-quality health care remains a top priority,” said Caledon mayor Annette Groves.
“This summit reinforces our commitment to community vitality and livability, a key priority of our strategic plan. By working together with all levels of government and health care partners, we can create a more integrated and responsive health system that meets the needs of all Caledon residents.”
