Thunder Bay Regional Hospital: an amalgamation.
Two acute care hospitals in Thunder Bay recently amalgamated into a single hospital. Acute care delivery in the region promises to be more efficient and less expensive, and the process has resulted in a hospital better able to absorb the 18 percent provincial funding cut announced last fall. This is an important step in developing a truly efficient and effective continuum of care in Thunder Bay, and an example of successfully meeting the challenges of delivering quality service on a tighter budget.
