All three organizations have many referral partners, and this will continue into the future. We expect
that through this integration, we will become a stronger partner for other health service providers in the
TC LHIN and beyond. Improved access is a cornerstone of our proposal and we will continue to honor
existing relationships with partner hospitals with regards to referrals, specifically for services such as
rehabilitation at Providence Healthcare. The table below highlights referral patterns to Providence over
the past three fiscal years from key acute-care partners.

Remaining Committed to the Integration Priorities of the TC LHIN

The three organizations will also continue to support the TC LHIN’s broader integration efforts with
health care providers through its sub-regions. St. Joseph’s and St. Michael’s are Hospital Resource
Partners and will continue to play leadership roles within the LHIN and assigned sub-regions to provide a
local lens that will help LHINs better address patients’ needs at the local level.

What sub-regions are supported?

With a strong footprint in primary care through its Academic Family Health Team, St. Michael’s Hospital
is committed to continuing to support its partners in mid-east Toronto.
Mid-East Toronto has the highest proportion of persons and children under 18
living below the low income measure (Low Income Measure After Tax) among
the sub-regions and compared to Toronto Central LHIN.
