Accessibility at Joseph Brant Hospital

In June, 2005 the Ontario government passed the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The purpose of the Act is to implement and enforce standards of accessibility for all Ontarians.

The Hospital’s Multi-Year Accessibility Plan (MYAP) is a requirement under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA). It is a five-year plan to identify, remove, and prevent accessibility barriers across the organization by committing to specific initiatives and outcomes aimed at making sure that all people, including people with disabilities, can access care and services.

The MYAP creates a road map which the hospital can follow in implementing the requirements of the AODA and enhance our hospital’s structures and processes, to ensure we continue to meet the evolving needs of our patients, families, staff and physicians.
