 We are
constantly exploring ways to improve accessibility within
our hospital for persons with disabilities. Our Accessibility
Advisory Team works actively during the year through meetings
and internal audits to prepare our annual Accessibility Plan.
The Plan evaluates the past year’s accomplishments as
well as outlines the course of action for the upcoming year.
In addition to our Team, both provincial standards and your
comments, concerns and ideas shape the annual plan. We invite
you to review the Accessibility Plan posted on the website
and welcome any feedback you may have on how we might improve
our accessibility. The TBRHSC Accessibility Plan is supplied
in Adobe PDF format. You will require Adobe
Acrobat reader to view this document.
As part of this plan the opinions of staff, community partners
and the public we serve are important. Click here to access
the online TBRHSC
Accessibility Survey.
