Who We Are, and What We Do
We are a non-partisan, community-based coalition of individuals and groups. As a local chapter of the Ontario Health Coalition (OHC), we advocate for improvements to our universal public health care system.
We Advocate For:
- Funding our hospitals at a level that will restore capacity and reopen outpatient services to meet the needs of the community
- Building capacity and improving levels of care in public long-term care facilities
- Home care to be a public, non-profit service that is adequately funded
- Supporting and expanding Community Health Centres
- Publicly financed and operated community hospitals, including the new Civic Campus in Ottawa. No extra billing in private clinics
- Rebuilding accountable democratic governance of our hospitals and long-term care facilities
