Patient Feedback

Shaping The Future Of Our Community Healthcare! Check back soon to take our survey and help us improve the future of our community health care for everyone.

The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit wants to learn more about the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the residents of Simcoe Muskoka through an online survey. The survey is anonymous and no identifiable information will be collected. It is essential to hear from a wide range of people that represent the full diversity in our communities. The survey data will be used to identify where there are gaps or hardships that need to be addressed which may lead to adapting or improving services the health unit offers or advocating to political decision makers at all levels for changes.
