What types of services are available at each site in the future model?

You can get a better idea of the services that will be offered at both sites by viewing the chart here: (Weekly Update: Explaining Local Health System Plans in More Detail – Made-In-Muskoka Healthcare (madeinmuskokahealthcare.ca) or you can view our video on Services and Beds at the top of this page.

What does this mean for the quality of my care?

The quality of care locally will increase as specialized services like reactivation, rehabilitation, and a Level 3 ICU will be added to the new multi-site regional hospital. For more information on the services offered at the new multi-site regional hospital view the Services & Beds video at the top of this page.

How many beds are available at each site?

For more information on the beds available and the breakdown of these beds as they relate to the services offered at each site, watch the Services and Beds video at the top of this page.

Will I get care at the hospital closest to my home?

Yes, 95% of people who enter the hospital will receive care at the site closest to their home. Both the Bracebridge and Huntsville Emergency Departments will be doubling in size and increasing to 27 treatment bays each.

Only a very small number of people (approximately 2%) will be transferred to the Huntsville location from the Bracebridge site in the case where they will stay more than 6 days and only if their stay is significantly longer than 6 days and they require specialized reactivation and rehabilitation.

In the case where there is a service that is not provided at either hospital, safe patient transfers out of region will still occur. Some travel between hospitals for appointments will be necessary in the new model.
