HHHS looks to community for input on Master Plan by EMILY STONEHOUSE
Editor
The topic of the aging population in Haliburton County has been a circulating conversation for years. Over the next 20
years, the population in Haliburton Highlands Health Services’ (HHHS) catchment area is expected to increase by 22 per cent, while it is predicted that the 80 plus population will grow by 59 per cent over the next 10 years. “Our population is growing and it’s aging,” said HHHS CEO and President Veronica
Nelson. “So we need to plan for our future.” Nelson and her team are at the very early stages of what she shared could be a ten year project: the development of a formalized Master Plan for HHHS. Simultaneously, HHHS will be working on a Long Term Care (LTC) plan. “They go hand-in-hand,” said
Nelson. “They are interdependent on one another, and you have to speak to all of your facilities.” Nelson noted that rolling out the Master Plan is not a “one and done” initiative. There will be dedicated feasibility studies, traffic see PLAN page 2
