If you are interested in children’s health, you may be interested in making an informed decision regarding which hospital you use for your pediatric care.
The OHA officially launched a new website called myhospitalcare.ca. For the first time, this website allows members of the public to genuinely understand how their local hospital is performing, and takes what used to be complex and dense information and translates it into clear, plain language that is easy to access, read and understand.
