Community Involvement Wanted for Updating Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre’s Accessibility Plan

Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) is asking the community to provide input to develop their revised multi-year Accessibility Plan.

TBRHSC is committed to making the Hospital environment more accessible for patients, families, volunteers, and staff. To ensure accessibility is achieved under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, TBRHSC will continue to identify, remove and prevent any accessibility barriers to care, services, work and learning.

TBRHSC values input and believes that it is crucial in identifying the most meaningful and impactful changes. We need your help to ensure our multi-year Accessibility Plan is reflective of the priorities and needs of the community.

To support the process in updating the Accessibility Plan, TBRHSC is seeking feedback from the community to identify existing barriers and areas for improvement. This feedback will be used to guide the development of the plan.

The public is encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas on how we can make TBRHSC more accessible by completing an online survey. A hard copy version of the survey will also be available at the Hospital. Respondents can deposit their completed survey in one of the comment boxes located on every level at TBRHSC by the patient elevators and at the main entrance. Alternative formats of the survey can be requested by emailing tbrhsc@tbh.net or by calling (807) 684-6218.

The deadline to provide feedback is May 30, 2024.

The survey and more information on TBRHSC’s current Accessibility Plan can be found online at https://tbrhsc.net/tbrhsc/accessibility/.
