Orangeville, ON (June 21, 2023) On June 20, Headwaters Health Care Centre released its
2022 – 2023 Annual Report at the Annual Meeting with a special focus on Dufferin County-Caledon connections in the hospital and with the surrounding region. Given the gradual recovery from COVID-19 over the past year, the latest Annual Report shifts away from a pandemic response to embrace return-to-normal programs, services and patient experience.
Within the Annual Report, the community can learn about Headwaters’ patient experiences, most recent achievements and future plans, audited financial statements, and ways to get involved in their local hospital and make a difference.
The report’s theme “Discover Headwaters” heralds community pride and local connections. It celebrates the hospital’s many programs and services available close to home, expressed in a tourism creative concept. Created in partnership with local municipalities and conservation authorities, the report features local destinations beloved by staff and volunteers highlighted in the report.
Once again, the Annual Report content is supported by Headwaters Patient and Family Advisory Partnership to ensure the patient perspective is strongly represented.
In celebration of all things local, the community is also encouraged to complete a reader survey for a chance to win a copy of local outdoor enthusiast Nicola Ross’ hiking trail guide.
