Statement of Commitment to Accessibility at HDGH
In fulfilling the Mission of Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, we are committed to providing an accessible environment to all who come through our doors, seek and use our services, and access our information. As a public healthcare organization in Ontario, we respect the standards and regulations set forth under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. It is important to us to provide a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone. We acknowledge that this is a shared responsibility. This Statement of Commitment is our promise to listen, ask, learn, and invite the community we serve into the conversation. We will act in good faith to make accessibility a reality for all.

- Representative(s) from community organizations in Windsor-Essex serving and advocating on behalf of persons living with disabilities
The Accessibility Advisory Committee reports to the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity Alliance at HDGH and to the Board of Directors.
This is a volunteer committee. Members must be able to commit to meeting two (2) times per year (excluding December, July, and August) for up to two (2) hours per meeting.
