What does the Niagara District Health Council's future vision of
our health care mean to you?

What the Health Council Sa)!S.'
(l)"The most specialized level of health
care will be provided by a State-of theArt Hospital and Emergency service,
which are supported by satellite
Ambulatory Clinics."

What this Could mean for You
and Your FamilyÂ·
â€¢ Instead of a 24 hour Emergency
service there will be a Walk-in Clinic
open 12 hours per day but no service
at night.
â€¢ No. hospital beds for Intensive Care,
Maternity, Paediatrics and Surgical
Patients.
â€¢ A 30 minute car or ambufance ride (if
available) to the nearest Hospital.

(2)"It is expected that there will be fewer
Hospitals in Niagara's Health System. 11

â€¢

Small hospitals will l*ely be
targetted for closure.
ie: Douglas Memorial Hospital

(3)"Niagara's Health System will be Led
and Managed by a single Local

â€¢

This means a Regional Health Board
similar to Regional Govemment with Â·
Eort Â·Erie having very little voice.
