​​The OHA is focused on effecting positive change for our members, the health system, and our own organization.

As highlighted in our 2023-2​027 strategic ​plan​, we recognize the urgent need to find sustainable, system-wide solutions to build a reliable, high-performing health care system for Ontario, and to shape public conversations on critical issues impacting health care. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the collective strength of the entire health system when government, providers, and organizations across civil society – including the OHA – are motivated by a single aim: protecting and improving the well-being of Ontarians.

Together, we can build a high-performing health system while providing tangible benefits to your organization.​
