The Ontario government is providing over $18 million in funding to support staffing and operations at healthcare organizations in Northwestern Ontario. The funding aims to address ongoing healthcare costs, improve service access, and support diverse populations.
The provincial government has invested over $18 million to support staffing and operations at local healthcare organizations across Northwestern Ontario . This funding will help to address the continual healthcare costs to aid facilities in supporting and retaining healthcare workers, improving critical service access and providing relief to urgent healthcare needs in rural communities and distinct challenges supporting diverse populations.
Kevin Holland, MPP of Thunder Bay – Atikokan, and Rhonda Crocker Ellacott, the president and CEO of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC), made the announcement on Tuesday. Holland said the funding is not only about addressing immediate financial pressures, but it's about building a ‘stronger, more resilient healthcare system for the long term.’ “I'm really happy to be grateful to be part of a government that recognizes and is making those historic investments again to make sure that we are well positioned for the delivery of healthcare now and into the future. I think this is going to be really monumental for the healthcare providers in moving forward in their planning stages,” said Holland. The TBRHSC will receive over $14.8 million to address growing demands and strengthen its capacity to provide high-quality patient care. “Thunder Bay Regional is, as I said, the flagship of healthcare providers in the region and to be able to put them on sound footing so that they are best positioned to continue to provide the quality health care they deliver is vital and it's really important to me to make sure that that message is being heard in Toronto and that we're delivering on that investment here in Northwestern Ontario,” said Holland. These additional investments to the base funding for these cornerstone healthcare organizations will aid both their immediate needs and long-term improvement
