MAHC’S NEW ‘MICROSITE’ EXPANDS ON HOSPITALS ‘VISION AND ‘BENEFITS,’ AS LAKE OF BAYS SLAMS ‘EMBARRASSING’ SOUTH MUSKOKA CRITICS

MUSKOKA — Does Muskoka need Lake of Bays?

It seems, at least on the issue of hospitals redevelopment, the district’s eastern flank is one in the same as parenting Huntsville.

Mayor Terry Glover and council were parroting the northern half of Muskoka last week at their council meeting disparagingly claiming that “all the hospital bickering was embarrassing” and could “hurt” the fate of MAHC’s redevelopment.

A position that more than half the residents of the six municipalities would tend to disagree with.

The tale of two city states dividing north and south with mocking derision now continues as both sides mount critical spirited defences of their intentions, purposes and benefits.

As such Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare has announced the launch of an “enhanced microsite,” it says is “designed to provide a clearer and more engaging overview of our capital redevelopment project.”

A release today says it incorporates “valuable feedback from our Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC), physicians, staff, and community members, aims to strengthen communication and keep our community informed about the proposed plan for two new hospitals with new and enhanced services for our communities.”

The microsite now includes a range of new features, including informative videos and interactive infographics, to help make the details of the redevelopment project more accessible and understandable for all community members.

If you’re still not clear on MAHC’s “vision” for its two future hospital locations here in the south and in north Muskoka, they offer another new option with a microsite they says makes their position more clear as they prepare to take it to the province’s Ministry of Health this fall.

“Our goal with the updated microsite is to offer a more comprehensive and user-friendly resource for our community,” said president and CEO Cheryl Harrison.

“We believe that by incorporating feedback and providing clear and engaging information, we can better keep everyone informed and involved in our plan to build two new hospitals for Muskoka and area. We invite everyone to visit the site, explore the new content, and stay connected with the progress of our redevelopment project.”

Updates include:

  • New Videos: Offering clear explanations and insights into the redevelopment project and its benefits.
  • Interactive Infographics: Presenting complex information in a more understandable and visual format.
  • Updated FAQ Section: Providing answers to common questions and addressing key topics of interest.
