This new funding will make real, on-the-ground improvements to patient care and overall quality of life in Parry Sound-Muskoka.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doppler reached out to MAHC via email for comment on the additional base funding and what it means for the organization, and Director of Communication and Stakeholder Engagement Bobbie Clark simply responded: &#8220;MAHC is grateful to Graydon Smith and the provincial government for the increase in base funding.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UPDATE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doppler received the following statement from MAHC the following day:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are incredibly grateful for the $2.6 million base funding increase from the Ministry of Health announced by MPP Graydon Smith this week. This investment will help MAHC address financial pressures, enhance patient care, and improve access to vital services for our growing community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like hospitals across Ontario, MAHC faces significant financial challenges in meeting the increasing demands on our healthcare system. This funding acknowledges those pressures and reinforces the government\u2019s commitment to supporting rural hospitals and ensuring high-quality care for the Muskoka and area,&#8221; according to Dave Uffelmann, Chair of Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the office of MPP Graydon Smith Today, Parry Sound-Muskoka MPP Graydon Smith announced another $6.6 million in new funding for local hospitals across the riding. \u201cOur government continues to [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":153324,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
