Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center hosts 'Bridging the Gap' community forum to engage community on infrastructure updates to hospital

Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center invites the community to engage in its "Bridging the Gap" forum, what it called “an initiative aimed at harnessing pivotal feedback from community members, health care professionals, and key stakeholders to inform decision-making regarding future infrastructure and service enhancements.

“Facilitated by Brian Archie from People Power Health, the forum will offer a platform for dynamic dialogue through panel discussions, workgroups, and interactive activities to create an opportunity for the community to influence and shape how NFMMC evolves, to better meet and exceed local health care demands.”

The event will run from 2-4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22, inside the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center Auditorium at 621 10th St.

Topics will include:

√ Infrastructure updates needed for the county's sole full-service hospital

√ Enhancing accessibility and safety for patients, staff and visitors

√ Essential features for a state-of-the-art hospital

√ Strategies to best serve the Niagara community's health care needs
