Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of myself and my team with the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Ministry of Health, I would like to thank you for hosting and meeting with us in early January 2024.

Thank you for sharing your perspectives regarding the voluntary mergers of local public health agencies within your region as well as the financial and capital considerations specific to the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit. It was a pleasure to be in your community, to hear from you and learn more about your local and regional perspectives.

The conversations we had were important and it is through ongoing dialogue and collaboration that we will be able to maximize the opportunities that the Strengthening Public Health strategy presents to make our sector stronger.

We look forward to continuing these important discussions over the coming months.

Sincerely,

Dr. Kieran Michael Moore, MD, CCFP(EM), FCFP, MPH, DTM&H, FRCPC, FCAHS
Chief Medical Officer of Health and Assistant Deputy Minister, Public Health
