Diversity in the LHIN

The cultural and linguistic diversity we enjoy in our LHIN means that, to meet the needs of our residents, health service providers must plan and deliver services in a culturally competent and equitable way (p.18)

This includes:

• strategies for promoting health and preventing/managing chronic diseases
• working to collaborate to better meet the needs of the Francophone community throughout the region
• beginning discussions with local Aboriginal leaders including the Métis Nation of Ontario‘s Health Branch for Brampton/Mississauga and the Peel Aboriginal Network (PAN)

The LHIN intends to meet its diverse population’s needs for improved health, timely access, efficiency and affordability, improved outcomes, and better access to primary care.
