Central Local Health Integration Network – Vice President, Clinical Health System Transformation & Quality
The Central Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is one of 14 LHINs established by the Ontario provincial government to plan, coordinate, integrate and fund health services at the local level.
Geographically varied, the Central LHIN comprises sections of northern Toronto, a portion of Etobicoke, most of York Region and South Simcoe County. With a population of nearly 2 million, the Central LHIN has the most residents, is among the most diverse and is one of the fastest growing of all LHINs. A key challenge is to meet the increasing demand for care and services as the population continues to grow and age at a rate above the provincial average.
