The $750,000 earmarked in the budget is very disappointing, and does not address the multi-million dollar operating shortfall we are projecting for the 2018-19 fiscal year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Evelyn Brown, Chair of the MAHC Board of Directors, shared the sentiment that while any increase in funding is welcome, MAHC\u2019s allocation is hardly representative of inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier this month, the Senior Leadership Team along with representatives of the North Simcoe Muskoka LHIN met with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to advocate for additional funding to address our ongoing operating challenges,\u201d Brown says. \u201cThis is not a fix to the funding formula that is so badly needed. We will continue advocacy with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the North Simcoe Muskoka LHIN to properly fund our operations, but the pre-budget announcement is extremely disappointing for all of Muskoka.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
