Introduction to the Report and North Toronto Sub-Region 4 Planning at the Sub-Region Level • One of the key Strategic Priorities that underpins the goals of the Toronto Central LHIN strategic plan is Taking a Population Health Approach, which will direct how we plan, prioritize, fund, and partner with other organizations to target the needs of the population and the sub-populations within. • This begins with a strong understanding of what our current and future patients’ needs and wants are in order to improve their health status and experience with health care. This information will help to identify neighbourhoods and population segments that may need targeted interventions to achieve the desired and equitable outcomes reflected in our goals. • A population based approach integrates the full spectrum of health care delivery – from preventing disease (e.g. health promotion) to treatment (e.g. tertiary care). Health is greatly influenced by the social determinants of health – including our environment, our social status, education, employment, gender and culture. The profiles illustrate the diversity of the population of the Toronto Central LHIN, and form a basis of understanding of the variations in populations that can impact our health outcomes. 5 Data Sources, Considerations and Report Structure • Data was obtained from multiple sources for the report and years of data may vary as they are based on the most recent year available for the particular database. There may be minor differences in rates and numbers reported for different indicators due to rounding, use of different data sources and/or timing of data extraction. • As we get more information, we will update indicators or add new indicators. • Sub-regions are built from Statistics Canada Census Tracts. • The report is divided out into 5 sections and some are further sub-divided into sub-sections. Each section starts with a summary of the highlights and then information for individual selected indicators. • For each indicator, information is presented at LHIN, sub-region and wherever possible at neighbourhood level. The top 2 or 3 rates for neighbourhoods which indicate greater health risk in the summary slides are highlighted in pink. • Similar slide decks are being prepared for each of the Sub-regions and will be posted on the Toronto Central LHIN website. Additional informational information on sub-regions is available on Toronto Central LHIN website: http://www.torontocentrallhin.on.ca/forhsps/crosssectortables.aspx 6 About the North Toronto Sub-Region Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Yonge-Eglinton Forest Hill Anne Johnston Lawrence Square Sunnybrook Park Health Station Shopping Centre • Bounded by Highway 401, Yonge St. and York Mills Rd. to the north, Sunnybrook park to the east (between Bayview Ave. and Leslie St.), St Clair Ave. W. and Moore Ave. to the south, and William R Allen Road to the west. • The region contains 13 neighbourhoods, with Leaside-Bennington being split between North and Mid-East sub-regions, and Yonge-St Clair neighbourhood split between North and Mid-West sub-regions 7 North Toronto Neighbourhoods (2016) Population (2011) 199,051 (17.3% of Toronto Central LHIN) Males: 45.7% Females: 54.3% % Children and Youth (ages 0-19): 20.3 % % Seniors (ages 65+): 14.7% 8 Health Service Providers in Toronto Central LHIN (As of July 2016) HSP mappings are based on primary office locations.

The National Household Survey was a voluntary survey and subject to non-response bias especially in areas where non-response rates exceeded 25%, the threshold for suppression for the 2011 Census. Non-response bias is a common issue with voluntary surveys and a reflection of the tendency that people who are inclined to respond to a survey have different characteristics from people who do not respond. Consequently, marginalized or underrepresented subpopulations are likely undercounted in the National Household Survey and comparisons between the National Household Survey and previous Censuses should be considered to be unreliable. • Population estimates provided in the
