Board of Directors

Waypoint is governed by a skills-based community Board of Directors, which focuses on the effective and efficient delivery of mental health care for the communities we serve.

We provide leadership for mental health care within the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network (NSM LHIN) and throughout the province. Our role in the community extends beyond Waypoint to assist others who work with individuals recovering from serious mental illness.

Waypoint and its Board of Directors actively engage with the community through a variety of public events, focus groups and consultations as part of our commitment to strengthen the mental health care system and ensure that we continue to meet the needs of the communities we serve.
