Our 2026–2027 Operating Plan: Adaptability to Action​

Ontario's hospitals have long demonstrated leadership and innovation in delivering high-quality care to their communities. Building on that legacy, the Ontario Hospital Association's (OHA) 2026–2027 Operatin​g Plan marks a shift from adaptability to action and outlines how the OHA will support hospitals as they navigate ongoing financial uncertainty while continuing to improve care for Ontarians.

This year's plan outlines the OHA's priorities and initiatives to help hospitals plan responsibly and act decisively in a complex and evolving environment. It focuses on strengthening financial and operational certainty, reinforcing reciprocal accountability, and supporting evidence-based decision-making grounded in local governance and community needs.

The plan also highlights continued OHA leadership in advocacy, data integration and digital transformation, Indigenous health, applied research, and rights-based, culturally informed approaches to care.

Together, these efforts reflect the OHA's commitment to support hospital boards, and leadership teams as they steward public resources, manage risk, and lead necessary system change. Through this Operating Plan, the OHA reaffirms its role as a trusted partner and advocate to support Ontario's hospitals build a better health system.
