The Waterloo Wellington Regional Cancer Program has launched a new 2016-19 plan for cancer services.
For the first time, an extensive consultative process was undertaken with many patients, families, care providers, staff and partners throughout Waterloo Wellington to identify the priorities for cancer care.
The plan outlines five key themes, which align with the goals and strategic objectives of Cancer Care Ontario’s Ontario Cancer Plan IV (2016-2019), and the current and projected needs of patients and families.
The Waterloo Wellington Regional Cancer Plan gives direction for the development and delivery of cancer services and is focused on the needs of patients across the various phases of their cancer care, from screening through to end of life care.
“Our community will benefit from a focused and collaborative effort that will allow for the streamlining and implementation of services that will best meet the needs of patients and families,” said Judy Linton, regional vice president of Cancer Services with the Waterloo Wellington Regional Cancer Program.
The Waterloo Wellington Regional Cancer Plan 2016-19 is available online at www.grhosp.on.ca/wwrcp.
