Windsor Essex Health Coalition: 3,500+ Concerned Citizens Gather at Windsor and Essex's Health Care Rally

Underfunding: The Impact in Our Community

Windsor and surrounding areas are feeling the effects of hospital underfunding as beds and services are closing. At the same time, promised long-term care beds are not materializing, and construction on the three new homes has not even begun. The Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network has actually ordered Altered Level of Care patients in hospital beds, transferred to for-profit, completely unregulated retirement homes. Home care services have been reduced, nursing homes are still not required to provide any measurable standard of care and hospital workers are facing lay-offs.

3,500+ Concerned Citizens Gather at Windsor and Essex's Health Care Rally

On Wednesday, August 26th over 3,500 people joined together during a healthcare forum in Windsor to discuss health care and the upcoming federal election. It is important that this year's candidates are aware that we, the people, want a renegotiation of a more financially sustainable health-care accord. We must stop the cuts, and stop the privatization of our health care services in Canada. Join us as we use our votes in the 2015 Federal Election to VOTE HEALTH CARE!
