I mean hospitals in Ontario are all privately run with independent board of directors. The biggest thing we have set up is the “nonprofit” status they all have to have, and the OHIP/single payer setup.
Beyond that, these hospitals that were hit were all “public”. Friend works at the cancer screening for SW Ontario and they’ve all been back to hand charting and filing. Tons of stuff is falling through the gaps, and they’ve been told to expect it to last to the new year.
Oof. That sucks. i thought ontario hospitals ( public ones) were publically funded for operating costs, regardless of OHIP payments for patient billing

I mean there’s hundreds to thousands of grants and other ways the govt pays the hospital as well, it’s not just OHIP funded but that’s a large part.
