For Health Profile – Rainy River Integrated District Network May 2012 North West LHIN RLISS du Nord-Ouest Health Profile for Rainy River Integrated District Network (IDN) Introduction This profile is one of a series of five profiles for each of the proposed Integrated District Networks (IDN)s. Three of the five IDN areas correspond to three of four current sub-LHIN planning areas – Rainy River District, City of Thunder Bay (and surrounding area) and Thunder Bay District (excluding city of Thunder Bay and surrounding area). The fourth and fifth proposed IDNs are formed from the current Kenora District sub-LHIN planning area. The Northern IDN is proposed to encompass Sioux Lookout and all First Nations communities north of Sioux Lookout. The remaining part of Kenora District (including Red Lake, Kenora and Dryden) will be referred to as Kenora District IDN. The map illustrates the North West LHIN’s current sub-LHIN planning areas showing communities that have acute care hospitals. Figure 1: Map of the North West LHIN The Rainy River District sub-LHIN planning area of the North West LHIN corresponds exactly to the Rainy River District Census Division (CD). Moving forward, it is proposed that the area will be referred to as the Rainy River Integrated District Network.

There are no communities within Rainy River IDN designated under the French Language Health Services Act. Rainy River District accounts for 9 percent of the North West LHIN’s population and is expected to shrink by 3 percent over the next 10 years. Expected growth rates vary by age group. For example, the population aged 0 to 19 is expected to decrease by 11 percent over the next 10 years while the population of 65 to 79 year olds expected to increase by 34 percent.

Health Status and Health Outcomes Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) is only available at the Public Health Unit (PHU) or Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) level in Ontario. The Northwestern Health Unit (NWHU) area is the health region that best represents the Rainy River District. The NWHU area corresponds to the Rainy River District Census Division and that part of the Kenora District Census Division contained in the North West LHIN area.
