Ontario’s economic rebound depends on our health care system recovering.

On Thursday, July 23 from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm, join the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) for a webinar on the “new normal” for the health care system and what it means for Ontario’s physicians and patients.

 We will be joined by panelists:

Our panelists will discuss: 

• Why family physicians and specialists will continue to see and treat fewer patients a day than before COVID, despite their best efforts

• Economic pressures on community-based health care infrastructure, such as clinics and doctor’s offices
• Downstream effects on hospitals, community care, and the general health of Ontarians
