Community engagement is an essential part of the planning process. All stages of Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare's (MAHC) planning have included opportunities for internal and external stakeholders to provide feedback through both information sessions and dedicated surveys.
There are various ways that user input will continue to be obtained throughout this journey.
Community Information Sessions (April 2023)
MAHC was pleased to revisit our communities again in April with a series of in-person information sessions from April 17 to 20 and on April 22, and two virtual sessions on April 24 and 26.
At these sessions, we provided an update on the planning journey and our progress to date, reviewed the site selection process for a new location for the South Muskoka site, and presented the findings of the evaluation and the preliminary preferred property in Bracebridge. Together with members of our project consulting team, a 30-minute presentation was provided using a slide deck, followed by a question and answer period. Feedback at these sessions has been valuable to the project team and Board of Directors prior to final decision-making on a preferred new location. Following the second round of community engagement, President and CEO Cheryl Harrison also wrote a CEO Blog on the topic.
Community Open Houses (January 2023)
MAHC was pleased to host six in-person and two virtual open houses to connect with our communities to provide an update on our redevelopment journey and specifically about the site selection component of this stage of planning.
A 30-minute presentation was provided using a slide deck and an information brochure was available. Community members could tour large poster boards and engage in conversation and questions and answers with representatives from our project team and consultants, hospital foundations and auxiliaries, Board of Directors, and Patient Experience Partners. MAHC looks forward to hosting a further round of community engagement to provide an update on the site selection process and progress on our Stage 1.3 deliverables.
