MAHC Public Engagement Starting Next Week

July 23, 2024

MAHC is inviting the communities we serve to join us for a collaborative exchange of ideas to continue to shape the future of our local regional, multi-site hospital system.

May 28, 2024

Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) is announcing a series of community engagement sessions designed to gather valuable input and foster a collaborative dialogue about the proposed multi-site regional hospital capital redevelopment project. These interactive sessions will be held at both hospitals on June 5, 6, 7, and 8, 2024. Additionally, a survey will be available for those unable to attend in person.

Regarding in-person sessions, we are moving to a phase of more intimate, small-group discussions. Topics include:

Brainstorm Ideas to Support Health Care Transformation in Our Region

  • Collaborate on solutions: We’ll ask participants to brainstorm and collaborate, creating solutions to address community concerns.

Aligning and Energizing Our Community
