The board makes policy decisions and determines the Centre's bylaws. However, the board must follow policies, guidelines and procedures established by the Province of Ontario. The board is elected by the Access Centre's voting members. It has equal representation from rural and urban areas throughout its jurisdiction. In 1999, the Centre conducted a membership campaign to recruit voting members from communities throughout its jurisdiction.
Membership is by appointment.
The Access Centre looked for people with experience as a client or as a caregiver and a demonstrated interest in home health care and long-term care in their community. It also looked for a balance of representatives from urban and rural areas. If you are interested in becoming a member, please click here and fill out the form.
