Public Pulse Surveys Pilot
These town halls are a great opportunity for the WRHA to take in feedback on how we're doing when it comes to communicating and engaging with you. These surveys give you a platform for your voices to be heard and to influence the decisions we make to enhance service delivery in the region.
Each quarter, a Public Pulse Survey will be posted along with the registration link. The survey is approximately 10 questions and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. We're looking for your feedback on how the organization is living up to its values and how you're feeling about communication and engagement overall.
