Abstract

Haliburton County is a relatively rural area not within close proximity to any particular urban centre. It has a growing population of both aging and retiring residents, a population in constant fluctuation. Seasonal residents need access to health care too, particularly in emergency situations.

All these unique factors make providing accessible and adequate health care to all residents of the county a challenging task.

The goal of this project was to determine the health care needs of Haliburton County residents by developing and implementing an effective survey.
