Public health officials from the Northwestern Health Unit have voiced their concerns with the province.

The health unit met with the minister of health at an annual conference for Ontario municipalities.

Marilyn Herbacz, the CEO of the Northwestern Health unit, says they talked about how the immunization model helps support local health care.

She says she mentioned that the northwestern part of the province has hugely different health care needs than other areas.

Herbacz hopes the conversations at the conference will lead to better health service for the region.
