KAWARTHA LAKES-Lakelands Public Health is pleased to invite health care professionals to participate in its upcoming Public Health Grand Rounds on June 15, 2026, a virtual educational session designed to support knowledge sharing and collaboration between public health and clinical care providers in the Lakelands Public Health region.
The sessions will be Led by Dr. Thomas Piggott, Medical Officer of Health and Chief Executive Officer, the session will explore timely public health issues affecting communities across the region and provide practical insights for health care professionals working on the front lines of patient care.
The June session will focus on summertime public health concerns, including the health impacts of climate change, extreme heat, air quality, and other seasonal risks. Participants will gain evidence- informed information and strategies to support patient care and community health.
“We are very excited to be able to host this session for health care professionals in our community,” said Dr. Thomas Piggott, Medical Officer of Health and CEO at Lakelands. “Our family physicians and health care providers are cornerstones of our health system and for public health work the frontline with residents of our community. Lakelands is often sending them information, but they are so busy, it is rare that we have dedicated time to chat about our work and learn from each other.”
The Public Health Grand Rounds series is certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter, making the sessions eligible for continuing professional development credits for Physicians or other healthcare professionals. Health care professionals from across the region are encouraged to attend. This will be the first session of at least 2 per year, with the next anticipated in the fall.
