Ontario’s healthcare system is clearly at a turning point – we must move beyond the status quo to ensure a sustainable system for the future.

It’s no secret that Ontario’s healthcare system is grappling with rapid population growth, patients with increasingly complex healthcare needs, staffing constraints, and intense pressures on existing capacity. Ontarians will be living longer with chronic disease and there are rising rates of illness across all age groups. By 2040, approximately 3.1 million people are expected to be living with major illness.

Healthcare is vital, but that doesn’t mean Ontario’s healthcare system should be sheltered from change. As we face the challenge and responsibility of providing health services for a growing and changing province, now is the time to be ambitious, embrace innovation and unlock our incredible potential.

Join our speakers as they showcase the recent Projected Patterns of Illness in Ontario study, followed by a panel discussion on the path forward for Ontario.
