We are learning more details of the merger between the Perth District Health Unit and the Huron County Health Unit.
In an update sent out to stakeholders on Thursday, the HCHU says the two will be merging into a single entity effective January 1st, 2020 and it will be called Huron Perth Public Health.
Dr. Miriam Klassen, the current Medical Officer of Health for Perth County, will take the same position with the new entity and officials say the current amalgamation plan doesn’t include any change to current office locations.
A transition team, consisting of a consultant, health unit staff and Board of Health members from both health units, is leading the work of the amalgamation.
