By: Jason Kryk, Windsor Star<\/p>\n

The Ontario Health Coalition is holding a public meeting on Oct. 25 to hear stories from Windsor people about their hospital experiences and their ideas for improving and preserving hospital services.<\/p>\n

t says Ontario has suffered the worst hospital cuts in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese changes to our hospitals have been foisted upon Ontarians without any democratic input,\u201d the coalition says in a news release. \u201cThey do not reflect the values and priorities of our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coalition says the stories it hears daily run from life-affirming to heartbreaking. Some people report receiving excellent care, says the news release, which acknowledges that hospitals have been innovating to reduce wait times. But there are also reports of frail elderly patients pushed out of hospital too quickly and paramedics frustrated by the hours-long waits to offload patients to overloaded emergency departments.<\/p>\n

\u201cNurses and care staff are working with crushing workloads,\u201d says the coalition, which is gathering information with an eye to making health care a big issue in next year\u2019s provincial election.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Windsor meeting is scheduled for Oct. 25, from 3 to 7 p.m. at Windsor Public Library\u2019s central branch on Ouellette Avenue.<\/p>\n
