You Can Help

I am overwhelmed by your support in our mission to receive the treatment I require.

The application is in OHTAC's hands right now.
It is expressly forbidden to contact members of the Assessment Committee Review Panel regarding technology that is under review.

I can only get treatment if the Ministry of Health and its Divisions recognize gastric pacemakers as a standard of care for patients with severe gastroparesis.

Letters that discuss the need to include Gastric Electrical Stimulation in OHIP's list of insured services may be sent to:

Hon. George Smitherman
Minister of Health and Long Term Care
80 Grosvenor St., 10th Fl.
Hepburn Block
Toronto, ON M7A 2C4

Please send a copy of your correspondence to your own M.P.P.
