The Listowel Wingham Hospital Alliance (LWHA) has been awarded Accreditation with Exemplary Standing.
This is the highest rating awarded by Accreditation Canada and is being awarded after a site visit in November of 2025.
According to a media release from the LWHA, this means that the organization has "met rigorous, evidence-informed standards and demonstrates a strong, organization-wide commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement."
Several organizational strengths of the LWHA were identified, including its robust ethical framework supporting ethical decision-making, strong partnerships that support safe and coordinated transitions in care, and quality improvement initiatives with meaningful patient and family engagement.
"Achieving Exemplary Standing is a major milestone for LWHA and a reflection of the exceptional work our teams deliver every day," said LWHA President and CEO Esther Millar. "This result is not accidental. It is the product of a deliberate focus on continuous improvement and a shared commitment to providing safe, high-quality care close to home by all the members of our healthcare teams."
