Value proposition

More than 100 member organizations working to achieve health equity through comprehensive primary health care in Ontario

The Alliance for Healthier Communities is the voice of a vibrant network of community-governed primary health care organizations in Ontario. Member organizations serve diverse communities across the province, and are rooted in the communities they serve. We share commitment to advancing health equity through the delivery of comprehensive primary health care.

We are an organization and a movement built on the belief that health is “a complete state of physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Through comprehensive primary health care, we aim to eliminate barriers that leave 3.5 million people in Ontario at risk of poor health. Together, we work to address the root causes of illness by changing social, economic and environmental policies to correct inequities harming people’s health.
