The township of Minden Hills’ released a statement on Friday saying that Council continues to explore all avenues to save the Minden Emergency Department from closure.
Council maintains that the June 1st, 2023, closure date provided by Haliburton Highlands Health Services is unreasonable and prevents meaningful and productive discussion on the future of the Minden Emergency Department from taking place.
The objective of Minden Hills Council is to pursue a moratorium on the June 1st closure date and to ensure the ongoing delivery of services at the Minden Emergency Department.
At its Regular Meeting last Thursday council unanimously passed a resolution stating that Minden Hills Council stands with the community and supports their efforts of demanding change to the decision of the Emergency Department closure and continues to explore all options to ensure the ongoing delivery of services.
