Our History
Established in 2007, the CSS Network is a self-funded, integrated and collaborative group of community based health organizations providing community-based health services within the Central LHIN. Our members serve seniors, people with disabilities, palliative clients of all ages and the bereaved. The Network is led by a Steering Committee of eight individuals selected from amongst the CSS Network membership.
