By: Ken Mann, AM 900 CHML<\/p>\n

Residents are being asked to share their hospital stories during a public hearing on Monday in downtown Hamilton.<\/p>\n

The event is being hosted by the Ontario Health Coalition which has been travelling the province and collecting stories that executive director Natalie Mehra describes as ranging from \u201cexcellent to terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n

At one extreme, Mehra notes that they are hearing about \u201cgreat innovations\u201d and \u201cexcellent care.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

At the other extreme, she describes \u201cawful\u201d stories of people \u201cwaiting on stretchers in hallways\u201d or \u201cin an ambulance that can\u2019t offload because emergency departments are full to the rafters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mehra adds that after it finishes collecting stories, the coalition will develop a short list of recommendations and ask \u201call of the political parties to make concrete commitments\u201d ahead of next year\u2019s provincial election.<\/p>\n

Hamilton is the 12th of 14 Ontario communities to host the coalition\u2019s hearings and Mehra\u00a0says they\u2019ve been hearing from seniors, patients and their family members, physicians, nurses and other health professionals.<\/p>\n

To date, she describes it as a \u201crich conversation\u201d that has highlighted \u201cvery serious problems of under-capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s hearing is from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the YWCA auditorium on MacNab Street.<\/p>\n
