A joint letter from Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson and Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Bill Walker is calling on Ontario health minister Eric Hoskins to stop the closure of the Restorative Care Unit (RCU) program in Chesley.

The two local MPPs have also invited the minister to visit the Chesley site in an effort to see and hear first-hand how rehabilitative services are helping to improve patient outcomes every day.

“The Chesley RCU site is a fit with the ministry of health and long-term care's vision of enabling people to be in their homes confidently and for as long as possible," says Thompson. "In order to maintain this highly successful program, base funding is absolutely necessary.”
