Your Voice, Your Health

Help Shape the Future of Health Care in Durham Region

Lakeridge Health is developing our 2026–2031 Strategic Plan, and we want to hear from you. Take the 10-minute anonymous survey now!

In collaboration with D-SIDES, a trusted partner in community engagement, we’re listening to the diverse communities that make up Durham Region—because delivering safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive care starts with understanding what matters most to you.

Why Your Voice Matters

Your feedback will directly influence how we improve care across the region. This is your opportunity to shape a health system that reflects the lived experiences, challenges, and needs of the people it serves.

Whether you're a resident, community leader, caregiver, or advocate—your insight is essential.

What We're Asking 

We invite you to take part in any of the following:

You’ll help us explore important questions like:

  • Are there barriers stopping you from getting the care you need?
  • Do you feel safe, respected, and understood in your care experience?
  • What changes would make care more inclusive and accessible?

We especially encourage members of equity-deserving groups—including racialized communities, Indigenous people, newcomers, 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities—to share their experiences.

What We'll Do with Your Feedback

Together with our partner D-SIDES, we’ll analyze your input to:

  • Identify and remove barriers to access
  • Make care more inclusive, welcoming, and responsive
  • Strengthen our programs and services to better serve all of Durham Region

We are committed to making sure your voice leads the way in shaping the future of care
