Patient Ombudsman’s role is to help resolve complaints from patients, residents and caregivers about experiences in Ontario’s public hospitals, long-term care homes, home care, and community surgical and diagnostic centres.
We will do everything we can to hear, understand and resolve your complaint, without taking sides. We work with both complainants and health organizations to help prevent the same issues from happening to others and to influence positive change in Ontario’s health care system.
