We have three pretty well managed hospitals that do well for quality and safety.
Grand River is the regional stroke centre and SMGH is the cardiac centre (and is getting known nationally).
I think the only thing missing locally might be a trauma centre; but I don't think you need an entirely new hospital to make that happen.
The closest trauma centres are in Hamilton, London, and Toronto and as a result frequently lose local ambulances for hours at a time making those trips or Ornge gets called in.
"enhance existing Health Care Programs presently delivered by the Region" - I don't think the Region actually delivers any direct/primary health care programs. Maybe Sunnyside Home counts?
Interesting that Aissa ($247,729.36) outspent Seiling ($60,301.55), more than 4:1 last time (final vote was 25,611 for Aissa to 63,884 for Seiling).
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
