The SMHS Executive Director Safety, Quality and Consumer Engagement, Dr Maxine Wardrop said how important it is for community members to share their thoughts and experiences.

"Building strong partnerships with our stakeholders is a strategic priority for SMHS, and initiatives like this help us to plan, evaluate and improve care across our hospital and community-based services," Maxine said.

"We are continually looking for ways to better understand the diverse needs of our community and Put it to the People will help us do just that. The added benefit for the community being that they can participate from the comfort of their own home.

"I encourage anyone with an interest in health care to join as a member and become part of our online community and be the first in the know."

SMHS recently relaunched the website with an improved look and feel. If this is of interest to you, or someone you know, get involved via Put it to the People (external link) today and make your opinion count.
