Champlain Community Health Centres Response to Patients First: A Proposal to Strengthen Patient-Centred Health Care in Ontario.

      

The Champlain Community Health Centres (CHCs), which are governed by community-based Boards of Directors, applaud the Government of Ontario for taking a bold step to advance a policy direction that acknowledges primary health care as the foundation of a high performing health system and commits to address health inequities and ensure access to services, particularly for vulnerable populations. That said CHCs have some cautions about different aspects of what has been proposed.

Shift the conversation to people and communities rather than patients

The health system needs to evolve to consider the whole person and what is important to help people achieve their full health potential. This includes their physical and mental health and their need for support in the home. It includes addressing barriers to health like income, employment, housing, food security and community belonging. It recognizes the importance of upstream initiatives, health promotion and primary prevention.
