Toronto Central LHIN

No one organization alone can deliver all the services that people need. The Local Health Integration Networks bring local health services together around one common set of goals and one plan for patients and communities.

LHINs involve local health providers and community members in setting priorities and solving problems so local health programs reflect what’s important to communities. Click on the Better Health Care, Healthier Communities button for highlights about how health care is changing in the Toronto Central LHIN.

The Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network (TC LHIN) is responsible for planning, coordinating and funding key health care services in central Toronto for approximately 1.15 million people.

We fund 174 health service providers including hospitals, the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre, community support services, Community Health Centres, mental health and addictions agencies and long-term care homes. In addition to serving our local community, health service providers in the TC LHIN provide specialized health services to a large number of Ontarians who live in other LHINs.

Meeting with Patients: their experience and perspectives

Patient Destiny and the Toronto Central LHIN co-hosted a day with patients and caregivers who receive services in the Toronto Central LHIN on December 7, 2011. The session brought together a cross-section of patients and caregivers to discuss their experiences, perspectives and ideas for improvement and change.

This report titled Meeting with Patients: their experiences and perspectives is a result of the sessions with patients and caregivers. It will help to inform health system planning in the Toronto Central LHIN, including the Toronto Central LHIN’s 2012-14 Strategic Plan and health quality and equity initiatives.
