Community Advisory Panel
North Durham Community Advisory Panel (CAP) Seeks New Members to Reflect Changing Communities
As Advisors to the Lakeridge Health Board of Trustees, Community Advisory Panels (CAPs) play an integral role in highlighting community needs and defining the services that are most important to the diverse communities of Durham Region.
Guided by Lakeridge Health’s Vision of One System. Best Health.,CAP members have a voice in the way services are delivered and help to create a health system that serves Durham Region’s diverse communities well into the future.
Lakeridge Health has four geographically based CAPs (Ajax Pickering, Clarington, North Durham, and Oshawa), as well as a CAP focused on Mental Health and Addictions. CAP members serve for a three-year term, with the option to renew for two terms.
Each CAP provides input and advice to the Board of Trustees at Lakeridge Health, shares information between the organization and the community, and brings forward community-specific concerns, questions, and suggestions. CAPs complement the work of more than 8,700 dedicated staff, physicians, and volunteers at Lakeridge Health who support patients and families every day.
To strengthen the diversity of the North Durham CAP and support their work moving forward, new members are being recruited to reflect the populations living and working in the North Durham area.
