LETTER: Guelph and Area Health Team concerns raised

Guelphite worries that patient and family advisors are being left out of health care structure reshaping

GuelphToday has received the following letter to the editor from a concerned Guelphite, Brigitte Lafferty.

Great that area physicians are joining forces to help improve the patient experience of local health care.

I have heard nothing about the inclusion of Patient and Family Advisors in the whole process.

As a former member of the Wellington, Waterloo LHIN as a patient and family advisor, I feel very strongly that the public's input is a necessary and valuable component of any such initiative.

Their omission would compromise the process as we, through our experience, have valuable input which could impact the overall success of such a process.
