Peterborough Health Coalition sets up mailbox at city hall to collect evidence of declining care

The Peterborough Health Coalition has set up a mailbox in the lobby of City Hall to collect first-hand stories illustrating the declining levels of care at their local hospital.

The coalition is seeking evidence to present back to the board of the Peterborough Regional Health Centre that cuts to more than 350 jobs at the hospital are having an impact on the quality of care.

While Peterborough’s Council approved a motion to establish the box in the lobby of city hall, the collection of the information is the sole responsibility of the health coalition. Submissions will be kept confidential until the authors specifically agree to release the examples for use by the Peterborough Health Coalition on their behalf.
