Better patient outcomes is at the heart of why Niagara Health embraces the need for collaboration between hospitals and community physicians. Niagara’s family doctors and Niagara Health have been working together to manage patients and avoid unnecessary ED visits and hospital admissions.
We’ve made remarkable progress in the past year toward transforming care in Niagara thanks to the extraordinary commitment of our Niagara Health teams. The past few years have tested our resilience, but that hasn’t stopped our staff and physicians from going above and beyond every day.
Every donation, big and small, ensures we have everything needed for quality hospital care in Niagara, from sheets on patient beds to state-of-the-art MRI machines and everything in between.
We are building a new, modern hospital system in Niagara to replace outdated, outgrown infrastructure and improve patient experiences.
Like many health systems, Niagara Health continues to manage ongoing staffing pressures within a strained system. Despite these challenges, our team consistently goes above and beyond to care for our patients.
It’s been more than a decade since Niagara region got a new hospital. But over that same period, our population has grown and aged. Taken together, this has created challenges in providing the care Niagarans need and deserve.
A Message from Niagara Health President and CEO, Lynn Guerriero, on the multi-dimensional nature of healthcare. "Quality care is grounded in evidence, delivered in the right place and at the right time, with appropriately trained and qualified staff, and is built on strong partnerships."
It’s the foundation of Canada’s healthcare system. It’s vital to preventative care, health education and the management of chronic conditions. Importantly, it’s where patients turn for care when they are sick with a non-emergent illness. I’m talking about comprehensive primary care.
It’s a challenge sweeping across Ontario and Canada. The shortage of health-care workers — doctors, nurses and other clinical staff — is already impacting Niagara and has reached a critical point.
It doesn’t matter where you look. Right across our province and country, health-care systems are facing tremendous challenges. And yet, despite the many obstacles that stand in our way, there is reason for optimism and hope.
