HHHS Future Planning

Statistics from the Ministry of Health predict that over the next 20 years, Haliburton County’s population is expected to increase by 22%, while the 80+ population will grow by 59% in the next 10 years. That’s part of the reason Haliburton Highlands Health Services (HHHS), is inviting the public to be part of its Master Planning The Future of Care forums. HHHS CEO and President Veronica Nelson says the community’s voice is vital to helping to steer healthcare in both the short and long term. With the first session already in the books, there are two more opportunities for the public to let their opinions be known. The next sessions are on March 5th and 26th from 6 to 8 pm at the Minden site, or virtually. The forums are vitally important to sketch out ways to improving access to primary care, emergency service and long-term care.
