Local Health Advisory Committees were formed in 2012 to provide an avenue for consumer feedback and advocacy for the public health service.
Today, the role of LHACs has evolved to incorporate primary health care as well as involvement in health service planning and development.
“As advocates for their local community, LHAC members are chosen for their passion and ability to represent their town’s health interests, needs and concerns,” MLHD’s Community Engagement Manager Setchen Brimson said.
“Many of our LHACs have a drive and commitment to improving health in their communities that has resulted in some great projects and outcomes for their community.”
To become a member of your local LHAC, you will need to complete an application form and have the required screening for your interested activity or group.
