COBOURG – OPSEU members joined several hundred community members at an April 10 rally to call upon their local MPP to seek funding to retain health services at the Northumberland Hills Hospital.
The hospital is closing beds, a diabetes clinic and all outpatient rehab services in an attempt to balance its budget.
Officials at the Local Health Integration Network have already described NHH as among Ontario’s most efficient hospitals for its size.
The community is asking MPP Lou Rinaldi to go back to Queen’s Park and get $2 million in funding to save these services.
