- Build your listening and speaking skills as you share your own experiences and ideas.
- You will learn a great deal about the health care system and the different initiatives designed to improve care.
Anyone who has been a patient, a caregiver, or a family member of a patient, and who lives within the South West LHIN geography can apply to be considered for membership. To apply, anyone interested must complete and submit an Expression of Interest.
