Session: Access to Health in Rural Communities
Rural communities continue to be disproportionately impacted by Ontario’s health human resource challenges. While healthcare delivery is a provincial responsibility, municipalities across rural Ontario are stepping up with innovative, community-driven solutions. This session will highlight initiatives built in rural Ontario, for rural Ontario—approaches that are making a real difference for patients, providers, and communities.
Dr. Remington will be joined by an accomplished panel including:
• Mayor Heidi Lorenz, Town of Gravenhurst
• Dr. Lynn Mikula, CEO, Peterborough Regional Health Centre
If you’re attending #ROMA2026, be sure to join this important and timely conversation on strengthening access to care in rural communities.
