Advocates call for health-care improvements ahead of Ontario election
“Now that we know that kids are really suffering on these wait lists andthat are clinically unsafe for them, we’ve come together and we’ve made a plan called ‘Make Kids Count,'” said Julia Hanigsberg, President and CEO of Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.
“We believe that if we do those things, we’re going to be in much better shape four years from now than we are today and that means kids are going to be happier, healthier, living the lives we all want kids to be living,” added Hanigsberg. Andrea Haefele, mother of 11-year-old Bella, who was diagnosed with global developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder and Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome, knows well that the pandemic has brought lengthy delays for treatments and surgeries.
Health care is top of mind for her family as they head to cast their ballot in the upcoming provincial election.
