Health Professionals Advisory Committee (HPAC)

Overview

The North East LHIN’s 10 inaugural members of its Health Professionals Advisory Committee (HPAC) met for the first time on March 28, 2008 to begin their crucial role.

Governed under a regulation of the Local Health System Integration Act, 2006, the committee will serve as a collective voice of health professionals. Members represent different health professions, health sectors, and geographical areas of our region. It is expected that each committee member will serve to represent the region as a whole while providing strategic advice to support the work of the North East LHIN.
