London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) is hosting its Community Update Meeting on Wednesday, January 21 at 12 p.m. and everyone is invited to join.
LHSC’s Community Update Meetings are hosted monthly to provide community members with updates on LHSC and how we’re working to improve our operations. The monthly livestreamed meetings will highlight our progress on key initiatives. Each meeting will include a report from the Supervisor, Chair of the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC), and Corporate Nursing Executive (CNE).
Our goal is to foster a spirit of transparency and accountability, ensuring that patients, families, and community members feel connected to the decisions and actions that will shape the future of health care at LHSC.
