At Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, every decision we make begins with one question: how can we improve the lives of the people who trust us with their care?
Patients and families are at the centre of everything we do. Whether someone is receiving life-saving treatment close to home, welcoming a new child, recovering from illness, or facing one of life's most difficult moments, they deserve compassionate, high-quality care delivered with dignity, respect, and excellence.
As Northwestern Ontario's only tertiary care hospital and academic health sciences centre, we are privileged to serve more than 250,000 people across a region spanning a vast and diverse geography. While the distances between our communities are significant, our commitment to ensuring equitable access to care is unwavering.
Our impact extends beyond the walls of our Hospital. By educating tomorrow's health care professionals and advancing research through the Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute, we are helping shape the future of health care. Our clinicians, researchers, learners, and partners are developing innovative solutions that improve care closer to home, address the unique health needs of Indigenous communities, overcome barriers created by geography, and pioneer new approaches that benefit patients not only across Northwestern Ontario, but around the world.
To the people of Northwestern Ontario - thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and commitment to our shared vision of exceptional care for every patient, every time.
Sincerely,
Christine Bates
Chair, TBRHSC Board of Directors
