Shaping the Future of Health Care in Durham Region

As one of Ontario’s fastest-growing regions, Durham’s continued economic success depends on a health-care system that can support a growing population, attract investment and strengthen community well-being.

Join Lakeridge Health President and CEO Cynthia Davis and members of the organization’s senior leadership team for an exclusive panel discussion exploring how Lakeridge Health is shaping the future of health care across Durham Region.

Guests will gain insight into Lakeridge Health’s 2026–2031 Strategic Plan and the bold investments being made to expand capacity, grow the health-care workforce, improve access to care and advance innovation, research and medical education.

The discussion will explore transformative capital projects, including the Bowmanville Hospital Redevelopment, the future Whitby Hospital and a new Complex Continuing Care facility in Pickering.
