Ontario is taking the next steps in its plan to better integrate the province’s health care system to help end hallway health care

You will continue to have access to the care you need and the health care providers you have built relationships with. Home care continues as before and there are no changes to long-term care home placement.

Patient services and contacts will remain unchanged until further notice.
