No Hospital Meetings in North


There will be no no meetings in northwestern Ontario, but the Ontario Health Coalition says it is willing to consider giving northerners a chance to voice their concerns over the future of rural and northern hospitals.

The Coalition is holding a series of meetings elsewhere, but Executive Director Natalie Mehra says they are open to more sessions.

"Because we're paying for these ourselves and we have to fundraise to do everything we do we couldn't do an endless number of hearings," says Mehra. "But if people request hearing in their area they just have to let us know."

The coalition plans to start hearings March 4.
