Every day, these providers and the employees who are the foundation of these organizations are working to provide critical health and human services and supports to those who live in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties and to those from outside of our communities who rely on services and supports in HPE. The impact that these service providers have is far-reaching, well beyond the borders of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. This Collaborative, as a critical part of the HPE OHT is bringing life to our shared purpose; Caring for our communities together. Partnering for better health and wellness, within, and across our communities. 

Land Acknowledgement

HPE OHT delivers supports and services on lands that are the traditional territory of many nations, including the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe, Algonquin and the Haudenosaunee peoples. It is also directly adjacent to the Kenhte:ke – the Tyendinaga Nation. These territories are governed by the Dish with One Spoon wampum agreement. We share a responsibility to acknowledge and respect the culture and history of Indigenous peoples, who have inhabited and nurtured these lands for generations. We commit to centering our work of overall health and wellbeing for all residents, with particular consideration for Indigenous peoples and all equity-deserving populations in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties.
