Everyone knows that Quinte Health Care has dealt with some very serious financial pressures over the past several years.
Since the financial restructuring of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, they have needed to find about $30 million in savings over five years.
CEO Mary Clare Egberts says they got help from the province over the past two years, allowing for a shift in focus.
Egberts says they are consulting with front line physicians and doctors to find efficiencies and improve the patient experience.
Egberts says the main challenge for 2017 is that patient volumes continue to increase.
