Inclusion Policy

About nsmhealthline.ca Domain

The nsmhealthline.ca website, (“the Website"), provides information to the public about available health and community services in the North Simcoe Muskoka region. The Website helps consumers navigate the health system, access care and manage their health.

Health services cover a broad range of organizations and programs, including those that address the physical, mental and social well-being of individuals and populations at every stage of life. The focus of the Website is on health care services that are integral to the North Simcoe Muskoka region's public health care system. This includes publicly funded services, either in whole or in part, and certain private health services. Rounding out the listings is a selection of basic social services pertinent to health care. These services are described in a consistent manner in the Website to facilitate comparison, and to provide information on each service to assist the public with the selection process.

To ensure that the Website remains useful and manageable, Ontario Health atHome places limits on inclusion. All requests for inclusion are reviewed on a regular basis in accordance with this Inclusion Policy. Services currently beyond the scope of inclusion are a range of commercial health care services and the broader set of human services. Wherever possible, links are provided to referral resources.

Please refer to the Website Terms and Conditions of Use and the Privacy Policy for more information.
