Welcome to the Haliburton Highlands Health Services Workplace Ethics Hotline

Introduction to ConfidenceLine

ConfidenceLine has been selected by the Haliburton Highlands Health Services (HHHS) as its authorized external service provider for the purpose of reporting a policy, practice or activity at HHHS which is illegal, unethical or inappropriate. This service is open to all staff, physicians, contract staff, Board of Directors, volunteers, hospital affiliates and students, contractors, vendors, and donors. This hotline is included in the HHHS Whistleblowing Policy POL.ALL.26859.

Reports filed with ConfidenceLine are directed to the Board of Directors Chair and President and CEO, herein referred to as “the Designates”. These individuals will identify the most appropriate person (or persons) to lead the investigation of the concern.

Should any of the Designate(s) be listed or involved in your issue or concern, please contact our 1-800 services (1-800-661-9675) to file your report. Our call centre processes will ensure that the report is not forwarded to any individuals who may be implicated.

The ConfidenceLine E-Web reporting system offers a secure, state of the art, web reporting communications process that allows for direct and confidential communication between you and the Designate(s).
