HEALTHCARE AUTONOMY Community-Driven Municipal Model CARE CLOSER TO COMMUNITY Healthcare Autonomy examines municipal capacity to own or manage hospitals, clinics and other care facilities within the applicable legal framework. Public healthcare remains free where the governing system requires it. SHARED RESPONSIBILITIES Provincial governments retain legislation, funding and clinical regulation. Municipal roles would require clear authority, professional governance and coordination with existing providers, including private clinics where permitted. HEALTH CONNECTS ACROSS CDMM Housing stability, transportation, food access, workforce capacity, energy reliability and digital connections all influence care. Access, outcomes, staffing, travel burden and full cost must be measured.
