Community Engagement
Join Us
Community Members of the Downtown East Toronto Ontario Health Team (DET OHT) are persons who have had experience as a patient/client, family member, and/or caregiver, receiving health and community services in the Downtown East Toronto.
Community members play a key role in influencing, developing, and collaboratively designing a wide range of community and health initiatives, programs, services, and policies of the DET OHT. They bring forth an objective and balanced approach to patient, family, and caregiver perspectives and experiences.
Community members work in partnership with the Core Group (board members), Community Advisory Council, Engagement Working Group, and other DET OHT initiative-focused working groups.
