(MONCTON) March 9, 2016 - Patients and families in Moncton and the surrounding areas are invited to provide input into how Horizon can improve the overall patient experience within its facilities. A public discussion will take place at The Moncton Hospital in Room G1 on Sunday, March 13 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Five public sessions are taking place between Feb. 21 and Mar. 20. These sessions provide patients and their family members with an opportunity to share their ideas directly with Horizon.

To register for one of the remaining sessions, call 1-844-545-4288 and specify which location you are registering for:
 

• Mar. 13, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Room G1, The Moncton Hospital, Moncton
• Mar. 20, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Cornish Rooms, Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital, Fredericton

The public meetings represent Horizon's commitment to working with patients, families and staff members to create and sustain an exceptional patient and family centred care environment in all of our facilities.

Horizon's Patient Experience Advisors also play an important role in bringing forward ideas to improve the way we deliver health care services. We are currently seeking volunteers who have had a recent experience in one of our facilities to influence positive change within the organization.
