Share your feedback - tell us how we are doing!
One of the core values that guides our work across the Champlain region is listening to feedback from patients and families. Your feedback will help us to improve our programs and services, and identify potential system-wide issues.
There are several ways to contact the Champlain LHIN to file a complaint, compliment, or concern in English or French.
Step 1
Address your concern with your:
- Care coordinator for home and community care services, or
- Other health service provider (i.e. hospital, community health centre, long-term care home, mental health and addictions service, or community support service agency).
These individuals are most familiar with your situation, and want to hear what is going well for you, and what can be improved. They are also in the best position to answer any questions you may have about your care, or services that you are receiving.
Please note that LHIN-funded health service providers are accountable for their quality of care, and their patient experience. As such, the LHIN may encourage complainants to work with the appropriate provider.
Step 2
If your question or concern has not been addressed, the Champlain LHIN is here to assist you, and we welcome your feedback.
