Recent months have seen the Thessalon Hospital close its doors intermittently, prompting fears among residents that their access to essential healthcare services is slipping away.
Mary-Jane Thompson, a passionate member of the Thessalon community, is gearing up for an important advocacy mission as she heads to Queen’s Park on May 14.
Joined by the Ontario Health Coalition, Thompson is set to discuss urgent healthcare access challenges in Northern Ontario with Health Minister Sylvia Jones.
Thompson has been gathering personal accounts from local residents and intends to deliver a comprehensive letter detailing the severe healthcare crisis affecting Thessalon.
At the heart of her message is the pressing need for at least three full-time doctors, stable nursing roles, and improved inpatient facilities at Thessalon Hospital.
