The Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Ontario Health Team (FLA OHT) is recognizing the contributions of its Community Council members on International Volunteer Day, December 5, 2025.
The 22 volunteers bring lived experience, insights, and leadership to help build a more coordinated and person-centred health system across the region.
Council members guide co-design initiatives, ensure the needs of communities are reflected in planning, and support health system improvements. The group represents diverse perspectives, including Indigenous, Francophone, and equity-deserving communities, people with disabilities, rural and urban residents, and older adults.
Their work influences initiatives such as Health Homes, digital technologies, patient portals, and Indigenous Health & Wellness partnerships. Council co-chair Brenda Luffman says volunteers bring heart and passion to shaping decisions that affect local health care.
FLA OHT thanks all Community Council members for their dedication, emphasizing that their contributions are vital to building a more connected, inclusive, and person-centred health system for everyone in Frontenac, Lennox & Addington.
