“I am thrilled at this monumental step forward in our journey towards expanding health services in Georgina.
“I am grateful to our partners at Southlake Health and Northern York South Simcoe Ontario Health Team for acknowledging the importance of locating an Advanced Care Centre here in Georgina, and for the commitment they have shown to advance this crucial initiative.
Today's announcement moves us significantly closer to creating a local health and wellness facility right here in OUR community, a facility that will be responsive to the unique needs of Georgina’s residents.
The RFEI will guide us in the direction of a site and provide further clarity on the timelines for completion of the project. I look forward to broad participation from our community in responding to this initiative.
Just last year, I joined Southlake’s announcement on the expansion of its Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation Program in Georgina, providing leading edge cardiac care closer to home for patients in our community.
The Advanced Care Centre that we are talking about today will further bolster access to health services in Georgina, ensuring that our residents can benefit from the comfort and convenience of nearby care.
Creating a healthier community for all is a cause we are all passionate about.
Today’s announcement further illustrates our joint commitment to deliver on this initiative in a meaningful way, within timelines that reflect the growing needs of our community.”
