It's All About Patient Safety

Everyone at the Cumberland Health Authority is committed to working with our patients, clients and their families to provide quality health care and to promote safety within all of our facilities and services.

Did you know that people who are more involved in their own health care tend to do better and stay safe? For this reason, we want to keep you informed of the ways you can help ensure your own health care experiences are positive and safe. We also want to share information on the things WE are doing to help ensure your safety.

We offer a variety of patient safety resources that we encourage you to read. Please take a moment to review this information before your next visit to hospital or primary care provider (doctor or nurse practitioner).
