Health Professionals Advisory Committee
Health care practitioners are the backbone of health care provision and as part of its community engagement strategy and in response to the MOHLTC’s requirements, the HNHB LHIN has established the Health Professionals Advisory Committee (HPAC).
This multi-disciplinary group held its inaugural meeting March 7, 2008. This first meeting was an opportunity for the members to meet one another and also hear what the role and expectations are for the Committee from HNHB LHIN CEO Pat Mandy. At its May 2008 meeting, Dr. Parminder Brar was selected by the group as the Chair, and Irene Pasel as the Co-Chair.
As it moves forward the HPAC will advise the LHIN on key questions raised by stakeholders related to patient-centred care, implementation of the Integrated Health Services Plan (IHSP) and other strategic initiatives. The Committee may also be asked to offer advice to the LHIN on the impacts and opportunities of various decisions or plans that may affect health care practitioners.
