Another step taken by council towards a community health hub at OTMH legacy site Town council voted Monday (June 27) to take another step towards potentially creating a community health hub at the former Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital site on Reynolds Street. Councillors approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Town and the Mississauga Halton Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). The non-binding MOU outlines the scope and scale of a partnership between the Town and the LHIN regarding the potential concept of a community health hub. Town staff said further work and analysis would be required before any binding agreement would be created for council's approval. "With the relocation of Oakville's hospital, the Town is exploring community health hubs as a new, integrative way to meet the health care needs of residents," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. "This non-binding MOU provides the framework to more closely examine how we can meet our community's needs now and in the years to come." With the MOU approved the LHIN will undertake a third party study on the future health needs of the area surrounding the former hospital site. Town staff said this study is the first step in response to resident requests for consideration of local health care services being provided in the area. Once the results of the study are known, the Town and the LHIN will further investigate opportunities for joint programming at the site. The Town and the LHIN will also explore the possibility of the Town leasing the Kerr Street Seniors Centre site to the LHIN or LHIN designate. The Town is planning on relocating the seniors centre to the new community centre the Town is building as part of the Trafalgar Park revitalization- scheduled to open in mid-2018. Conceptually, Town staff said, the Kerr Street Seniors Centre site could be used for a community health hub to complement the services provided at the new seniors' facility. Town staff will also continue to have discussions with both the LHIN and Halton Region, which have indicated support for both the health study and exploration of health hub opportunities, to ensure that options align with the local public health and social services initiatives. "We look forward to working with the Town of Oakville and with Halton Region to better understand the needs of the community in order to provide health care services where it's needed most," said Bill MacLeod, Chief Executive Office, Mississauga Halton LHIN.
