Message from Bill Casey, Executive Director, Primary Health Care Services of Peterborough
The partnership between Primary Health Care Services of Peterborough and the Greater Peterborough Health Services Foundation is a very exciting opportunity. It will assist us in creating new programs and enhanced services that will build upon the excellence we have already achieved in the delivery of community-based health care throughout Peterborough County.
The successful transformation of community-based health care has been facilitated by a multi-disciplinary approach. This new partnership will ensure that new programs continue to be developed and we continue to advance the exceptional quality of care we are providing our community.
We are looking forward to working with the Foundation to identify areas of need in the provision of community-based health care services for the residents of Peterborough County.
Everyone will benefit from this partnership, but more importantly it will have a direct impact on the residents of Peterborough City and County by creating funding opportunities for the delivery of innovative community-based health services.
