Have Your Say: Rainy River District Health Care Matters Survey & Community Town Halls

October 08, 2026

As a member of the Rainy River District Ontario Health Team (OHT), Riverside Health Care encourages all community members to participate in the Rainy River District Health Care Matters initiative through an online survey and upcoming community town halls.

This initiative is an opportunity for residents across the district to share their experiences, perspectives and ideas about local health care. Whether you've had a positive experience, encountered challenges accessing services or supported a loved one through the health-care system, your feedback matters.
