CANADA, June 17 - Islanders are invited to share their input and ideas to help develop the 2022-30 Provincial Health Plan for the province.

Island residents can participate in various ways including an online survey and consultation sessions. Meetings by invitation will also take place with professional health care organizations, interest groups, unions and others with expertise in health care on the Island.

“Every Islander has a stake in the future of health care in this province and at some point, each of us has direct or indirect experience with our health system. Feedback and suggestions from Islanders will help us develop a plan and long-term vision to address challenges and meet the present and future health care needs of the people in our province.”
