The Ontario Health Coalition has released a report on northern and rural hospitals.
Thunder Bay Health Coalition Co-Chair Barb Maki says they want to ensure services are kept intact.
"We want to ensure that services are going to be available at our hospitals, still," says Maki. "That would include the hospital emergency department, blood, x-ray, ultra-sound, in-patient services for acute and complex continuing care beds, palliative care and rehabilitation."
Maki says the Northwest Local Health Integration Network has been good at consulting patients about potential service changes, and doesn't foresee any immediate problems.
