Health Network for Uninsured Clients The Network was established as a reformation of the Women’s College Hospital Network on Uninsured Clients. Goals: – To be a forum for health care and allied professionals working in the Greater Toronto Area to discuss the delivery of care and to map out pathways to access for uninsured clients; – To inform and support research on issues related to improving access to high quality health care services for uninsured clients; and – To identify and address structural barriers to health care services for uninsured clients. This includes policy and operational change within health care institutions and advocacy at the LHIN and Ministry levels.
