Canadian Blood Services

Health City Ontario derives from a belief in the principles of the Canada Health Act and the power and value of grass roots consultation in our universally accessible, publicly funded healthcare system. Our priority is to engage the public and care providers in order to effect change in the interest of acquiring timely, consistent and reliable access to healthcare for Ontario citizens. Our goal is to raise awareness for patients, providers, politicians and media of the many real challenges faced today in accessing health care in Kingston and the Southeast LHIN (Local Health Integrated Network). Educate, inform and engage our community on Bill 41 and ensure at its enactment it is written and empowered to benefit the health of all Ontarians.
