Our vision is to be the best community hospital in Ontario. Part of that vision includes doing what we can to improve access to services and reduce wait times.

The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care launched a website to report on wait times for five major health services at select Ontario hospitals, as part of the Provincial Government's Wait Time Strategy (WTS). The strategy is designed to increase access and reduce wait times for: Cancer surgery, Select Cardiac procedures (angioplasty, angiography and bypass surgery), Hip and Knee total joint replacements, Cataract surgery, and MRI and CT exams.

Wait times are measured in days, and reflect the length of time from the decision to have surgery to the completion of the procedure, for those patients who had surgery within the identified time period. The web site provides a snapshot of wait times for a three-month time period.
