In fulfilling the Mission of Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, we are committed to providing an accessible environment to all who come through our doors, seek and use our services, and access our information.
As a public healthcare organization in Ontario, we respect the standards and regulations set forth under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
It is important to us to provide a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone. We acknowledge that this is a shared responsibility.
This Statement of Commitment is our promise to listen, ask, learn, and invite the community we serve into the conversation. We will act in good faith to make accessibility a reality for all.
The above Statement of Committment was developed by our Accessibility Working Group at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare. We are thrilled to share that this Working Group is being transitioned into the Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare Accessibility Advisory Committee.
Ask yourself, does the above Statement of Commitment to Accessibility speak to you? Are you interested in exploring the opportunity to be a volunteer committee member? If yes, we would love to hear from you.
The Accessibility Advisory Committee at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare
is currently recruiting volunteer members to join the Committee.
We are seeking:
- Community members who have either been a patient or a family member/caregiver for a patient with lived experience who have received care at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare. This can include services received as either an inpatient or out-patient.
- Representative(s) from community organizations in Windsor-Essex serving and advocating on behalf of persons living with disabilities.
- Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare staff members with lived experience or who have experience supporting persons living with disabilities.
This is a volunteer committee. Members must be able to commit to meeting three (3) times per year (excluding December, July, and August) for up to two (2) hours per meeting. Once recruitment of new members is complete, the Committee will decide on a mutually agreeable meeting schedule of dates and times.
