Each year, the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) reports to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services on several key performance indicators. These indicators ensure accountability and transparency to the public. Achievements of the indicator targets are a central part of WECHU’s core business. The following table illustrates the 2015 year-end status for indicators.
