The volunteer Community Advisory Panels (CAPs) of Lakeridge Health play an integral role in highlighting community needs and defining the services that matter most to the diverse communities within Durham Region.
As advisors to the Lakeridge Health Board of Trustees, CAPs have a unique opportunity to shape health care in their local community and ensure that service planning and care delivery are guided by what is important to the people of Durham Region.
Currently, Lakeridge Health has four geographically based CAPs (North Durham, Ajax Pickering, Clarington, and Oshawa Whitby), as well as a CAP focused on Mental Health and Addictions. CAP members play an important role by:
· Sharing information between Lakeridge Health and the community;
· Bringing forward community-specific concerns, questions and suggestions; and
· Offering input and advice to the Board of Trustees to help improve the overall health and wellness of people in Durham Region and foster an accessible, inclusive, and equitable environment for all.
To strengthen the diversity of the Panels and support their work moving forward, new members are being recruited for to reflect the populations living and working in Durham Region.
Interested community members are invited to visit Lakeridge Health’s website to learn more about the application process and distinct requirements for each of the local CAPs recruiting at this time.
