The Niagara Health System's vision is to be a leader in healthcare. The NHS wants to remind all our partners in healthcare "Your Healthcare – Be Involved". Feedback in the form of compliments and/or concerns will assist us to reinforce our efforts to provide quality care. It ensures that areas of improvement are identified and quality assurance initiatives are acted upon.
Compliments and/or concerns can be forwarded to Natalie Foster, Patient Relations Specialist. Natalie is located at Ontario Street Site and can be reached at 905-378-4647, extension 44423 or by e-mail Natalie.Foster@niagarahealth.on.ca.
