From Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC):
MAHC is pleased to announce the launch of its new microsite dedicated to the proposed health system and the sharing of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
This initiative underscores MAHC’s commitment to transparency, community engagement, and the delivery of safe, high-quality healthcare services.
The microsite serves as a comprehensive resource hub, providing stakeholders and the public with detailed information about the historical background, meticulous planning process, stringent safety and quality care considerations, and future direction of the capital redevelopment project. Additionally, it will host over 40 FAQs addressing common queries and concerns raised by the community.
“At MAHC, we prioritize and value open communication and collaboration with our stakeholders,” said Cheryl Harrison, Chief Executive Officer at MAHC. “The launch of this microsite and the sharing of our FAQs represent significant milestones in our ongoing efforts to engage with the community and ensure transparency throughout the capital redevelopment process.”
Continued stakeholder engagement remains a priority for MAHC, with ongoing discussions helping to shape the functionality and design of the proposed redevelopment. The microsite will serve as a platform for stakeholders to stay informed, review data and research, and learn more about next steps in the planning process.
“We are committed to fostering meaningful dialogue and incorporating community input into our planning efforts,” added Harrison. “By launching this microsite and sharing our FAQs, we aim to address concerns, provide clarity, and empower our community to be partners in the future of healthcare delivery in Muskoka.”
The microsite is now live and accessible to the public at madeinmuskokahealthcare.ca. MAHC encourages community members, stakeholders, and interested parties to visit the microsite and explore the wealth of information available around the proposed new health system for Muskoka and area.

To Tom Wise,
MAHC has a billion dollars to build new hospitals. That should be more than enough to build 2 hospitals, both bigger than what we have now. MAHC’s plan was to build a clinic in Bracebridge not a hospital. If our hospitals are old and dumpy it is only because they have not been maintained properly. Again the responsibility of MAHC to ensure proper maintenance. I also question what you consider old? Is the hospital in Huntsville not relatively new in the terms of buildings?
David you and Peggy are the ones who are out of touch! Maybe those tinfoil hats are too tight. We have two dumpy old hospitals. Don’t you think if we could afford or needed two equal hospitals MAHC would ask for that? They are asking for much better than we have today. Tom
Thanks Peggy. The MAHC is so out of touch it is hard to understand how they can keep trying to put a band aid on a need for major surgery. They know the problem and the people of Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, Bala, Port Carling, MLA and all other areas serviced by South Muskoka will not tolerate this abuse of power with people who have preconditioned ideas of what is suitable for our medical needs.
As the saying goes ” careful what you wish for” as the anger is palpable.
MAHC prefaced their opening comments by stating that this process was a team building process. They have managed to alienate everyone and now want to insult us with a web site which only means they do not want to talk to us directly.
Live up to the previous commitments or resign.
Dave Hough
When is MAHC going to get the message? The people of south Muskoka do not want a website, they want a hospital that is bigger and better than what we currently have.
The people want what was promised, not a website. Perhaps the board of directors particularly the CEO should resign in shame for incompetence. Personally I would rather keep our current hospital rather than spend a lot of tax payer dollars on a “clinic” in a new location.
