Equity Highlights

IHSP 2007-2010

  • The IHSP notes that culturally sensitive service delivery requires significant learning and development to meet the needs of the current and future population
  • The IHSP also mentions transportation as a significant barrier to equitable service access
  • The LHIN also runs ongoing community engagement which supports a commitment to equity and support for diversity in communities

IHSP 2010-2013 Revised Strategic Priorities and Enabling Strategies

  • The LHIN’s strategic priorities include: improving access, quality and sustainability of the health system
  • The LHIN has special plans for Francophone and Aboriginal communities

The website contains a link to MOHLTC Effectiveness Review which discusses the importance of equity but there is very little else on the LHIN’s website explicitly regarding equity

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
