Healthcare is in the news almost every day. Waiting times for emergency visits and surgical procedures have skyrocketed, many have no access to a family physician, healthcare staffing levels are at critical levels and there is limited access to home care services. Some refer to healthcare as a crisis or collapse and call for innovative and fundamental changes! These issues and more are at the top of all Ontarians minds.
