ONA weighs on new report

The Ontario Nurses' Association is urging the Provincial Government to act on a list of 13-recommendations on improving Health Care in Northern Ontario. First Vice-President Vicki McKenna says a new ONA report on health services can't sit on the shelf and collect dust. The ONA is demanding that socio-economic and environmental issues in Northern Ontario be examined in order to address the root causes of lower life expectancy.
