Community Update Meetings

London Health Sciences Centre’s (LHSC’s) Community Update Meetings are hosted monthly to provide community members with updates on LHSC and how we’re working to improve our operations. The monthly livestreamed meetings will highlight our progress on key initiatives and we will also take time to address your questions. Each meeting will include a report from the Supervisor, Chair of the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC), and Corporate Nursing Executive (CNE). Our goal is to foster a spirit of transparency and accountability, ensuring that patients, families, and community members feel connected to the decisions and actions that will shape the future of health care at LHSC. 

Do you have a question you want LHSC to address at our next Community Update Meeting? Please submit your question using our online form.
