EXTRAORDINARY FUTURE

By investing in our hospitals – through people, equipment and technology – and working strategically in our community, we will create the future our patients deserve. Interconnectivity and innovation are key to achieving this future. Development has begun on the Niagara Health Navigator, Ontario’s first digital health ecosystem designed to protect patient privacy and security while connecting patients to their health data and to care providers in the region. We have made progress in planning for the South Niagara Hospital, which includes outlining program and service requirements, equipment and space needs. Taking care of the people who work here is also a priority. Progress continues to be made in reducing sick time and workplace injuries experienced by staff, physicians and volunteers.
