Health Unit Report Card

The Northwestern Health Unit is giving itself top marks in the release of a new public health report card.

The report outlines a variety of programs and the progress made in improving people's health.

CEO Mark Perrault feels they're doing very well in meeting that objective.

"Through restructuring which has saved money we've actually improved our services," says Perrault, "and we're delivering more programs now than we did three years ago."

One of the highlights from 2010 was the health unit's unconditional accreditation from the Ontario Council on Community Health Accreditation.
