On Saturday, May 28, the Ontario Health Coalition is calling on Ontarians to participate in a province-wide referendum to save local hospital services and stop the cuts to community hospitals.
Across Ontario, hospital beds, emergency departments, birthing and surgical units, palliative care and even entire hospitals are being closed down. Health care positions have been cut, public laboratories, diagnostics, and outpatient clinics are being privatized, and vital housekeeping and support services continue to be cut or privatized.
