The Central LHIN serves York Region and surrounding areas of the GTA. Province-wide this investment will help clients and caregivers most in need, including $80 million for enhanced home care and $20 million for caregiver respite. Home care patients and those who care for them will benefit from approximately: 350,000 additional hours of nursing care 1.3 million additional hours of personal support 600,000 additional hours of respite services for caregivers 100,000 additional hours of rehabilitation. The Central LHIN will work with the Central CCAC to allocate this funding to increase nursing care, personal support services and respite services to patients and families in our region. This additional funding is part of Ontario’s 2015 Budget commitment to increase investments in home and community care by more than $750 million over three years. These initiatives support the commitments made in Patients First: A Roadmap to Strengthen Home and Community Care , the province’s plan to improve and expand home and community care. Helping more people access better health care faster and closer to home is part of the government's plan to build a better Ontario through its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care . This plan is providing patients with faster access to the right care, better home and community care, the information they need to stay healthy and a health care system that’s sustainable for generations to come. /2 Page 2 QUOTES “Improving home and community care is one of our government’s most important health care priorities. This $100 million investment greatly expands the amount of nursing and personal support services that will be available to people across the province. These additional hours will make it possible for more people with complex conditions to receive care where they want to be — in their home and community.” — Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care “I am pleased that our government is improving Home and Community Care by investing an additional $13.7 million in the Central LHIN.

By expanding these services our government is making it easier for patients and their caregivers to access better care at home and in their communities.” — David Zimmer, M.P.P Willowdale “This infusion of nearly $14 million for home and community care within our local health integration network is a clear indicator that our government is listening, responding and taking focused action to allocate health care dollars where they are needed. I am proud that this investment also supports respite for family caregivers who contribute so much to the quality of life of their loved ones.” — Michael Chan, M.P.P., Markham-Unionville “The role of the Central Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is to plan, fund and integrate health care services for more than1.8 million people who live in our communities, including a rapidly growing population of seniors with complex health care conditions. Today’s announcement is good news for patients and families. The additional funding will provide more care for more people, supporting patients to live independently and safely at home, while reducing caregiver stress for their families.” — Kim Baker, CEO, Central LHIN . /3 Page 3 QUICK FACTS • Home and community care services support people of all ages who require care in their home, at school or in the community. • In 2015, Community Care Access Centres provided home care to approximately 650,000 people — 60 per cent of whom were seniors — including 28.7 million hours of personal support and homemaking, 6.9 million nursing visits and 2.1 million hours of nursing shifts. • This investment will be allocated to support enhanced care for clients with high needs and respite for caregivers who need it the most. • Information about funding allocations by LHINs will be available in the coming weeks.

    October 26, 2015 The Honourable Kathleen Wynne Premier of Ontario Legislative Building, Queens Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1 [email protected] Dear Premier Wynne: RE: Northern Ontario Evacuations of First Nations Communities At its meeting held on October 21, 2015, the Board of Health for the Perth District Health Unit considered correspondence forwarded and supported by Peterborough County-City Health Unit (also referencing Sudbury District Board of Health, and the Thunder Bay District Board of Health) regarding evacuations of First Nations communities in Northern Ontario. The member municipalities of the Perth District Health Unit received evacuees from the James Bay area in 2008. The Board of Health remains deeply concerned that the First Nations communities of the James Bay Coast and Northwestern Ontario continue to require close to annual evacuation due to seasonal flooding and forest fires. The Board of Health for the Perth District Health Unit supports the recommendation to address the ongoing lack of resources and infrastructure to ensure the safe, efficient and effective temporary relocation of First Nations communities in Northwestern Ontario and the James Bay coast when they face environmental and weather related threats in the form of seasonal floods and forest fires. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, Teresa Barresi, Chair Board of Health, Perth District Health Unit TB/mr Cc: Hon.

  • Monthly Report for September 2017
    Kentenha /October 10, 2017 Watkwanonhwera:ton/Greetings, I hope everyone enjoyed the long Thanksgiving weekend; hopefully you were able to relax and spend time with your families. My weekend was nice and relaxing, aside from doing the usual fall yard work, in addition to outside preparation work for yes…winter! The last few weeks have been very busy for many of us. Aside from hosting our monthly General Meeting on the last Saturday in September, the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) also hosted three open houses. The open houses were held in conjunction with the regularly scheduled Ahwesashsne Mohawk Board of Education (AMBE) open houses. We thought it would be a good idea to host the MCA open houses (in the school gymnasiums) at the same time as the open houses are held for each school. This way, families coming out to meet their children’s teachers would also have the opportunity to learn more about MCA programs, and community members coming out to learn more about the MCA programs would have the opportunity to visit our schools. The three open houses were a huge success; we thank all MCA employees for your great team work and the community of Akwesasne for making the event such an enjoyable one. I look forward to next year’s open houses. The last monthly General Meeting was held on Saturday, September 30, 2017 at the Akwesasne Homemakers. The morning agenda included a presentation by the Director of Tehotiiennawakon on the Akwesasne Tobacco Pilot Project; an update on the Akwesasne Election Law; an update on the Hydro One Equity Participation; an update on the Northern Border Summit; and a discussion on Cannabis Legislation.
