Central East LHIN Equity Initiatives in 2010-2013 IHSP

Engaged Communities, Healthy Communities


The 2010-2013 IHSP embodies Central East LHIN’s re-commitment to equity in access to health care.

The Ministry of Health and Long-term Care (MOHLTC) strategic directions include equitable access to care and services no matter where Ontarians live or their social, cultural and/or economic status.

Central East Vision

  • Focus on equitable and timely access to care
  • Attributes of a high-performing system: people should get the same quality of care regardless of who they are and where they live
  • Supports the equitable achievement of its strategic aims for all patients
  • Recognizes the need to address inequity in health outcomes and health care utilizations between our priority populations

Central East LHIN Hospital Clinical Services Plan

  • Released in February 2009, it led to the One Acute Care Network
  • The plan is the foundation for improved and equitable patient access to an integrated hospital system that provides the highest quality of care across the CE LHIN for selected services

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.
