Ontario Health Minister and Deputy Premier Sylvia Jones was in Essex Monday to meet with members of the Mental Health and Addictions Response Team (MHART). The MHART aims to provide residents with, according to Jones, “timely access to appropriate treatment and referral services to supports” within their communities.
A new mobile health unit unveiled Monday will make the rounds in Windsor and Essex County providing primary and non-emergent health care to people most in need.
Promises to improve the way the city responds to mental health emergencies are laid out in the platforms of several parties with candidates vying for election in Vancouver this October.
