What happened with LHINs on April 1, 2007?
On April 1st, 2007, Ontario’s health care system transformed itself in a fundamental way. The 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) created by the government came fully into their power, taking on responsibility for planning, funding and integrating health services in their local areas. This represented a critical step in the evolution of a health care system that is accessible, coordinated and responsive, in addition to being accountable and sustainable.
