Botswana, Panama and Albania have more hospital beds to population than Ontario.
An advocacy group is fighting to change that fact for elderly patients pushed out of hospital early and denied acute care.
The Ontario Association of Speech Pathologists and Audiologists and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions/CUPE are compiling a report for the Province.
Executive Director Mary Cook came to Owen Sound on Wednesday to build their case.
The report is complied of recordings and interviews with seniors in 40 Ontario Cities.
Cook is urging you to call their hotline at 1-888-599-0770 with your story of neglect .
Her group will present their report to the new provincial government come budget time.
Ontario has the fewest number of acute hospital beds of any developed economy in the world with an occupancy rate of 97.9 per cent.
Cook says that results in many elderly patients being discharged prematurely, often with deadly consequences.
Following her stop in Owen Sound, Cook visited Collingwood and Barrie to compile further evidence.
