Welcome to the Ontario Health Association's (OHA) resource page developed to provide you with a high-level overview of the primary member services and resources available to you, as well as the communications you can expect to receive from the OHA.
As the voice of Ontario's public hospitals, our efforts focus on achieving a high-performing health system by providing high-value leadership and services in targeted areas for OHA members and system partners.
Financial Leaders Network
The OHA convenes members from across the province through networks and committees to represent the context, perspectives and issues of our diverse membership. Both networks and committees are member forums intended to inform OHA advocacy and keep members apprised of emerging issues, encourage active participation in generative discussions, and enable members to connect and collaborate with the OHA team and one another. On occasion, targeted tables are also established to respond to emerging issues within the health care system.
Given your role, you are invited to participate as a member of the Financial Leaders Network (FLN), which brings together the most senior financial leaders across Ontario hospitals. The FLN meets on an ad hoc basis to address specific issues and priorities. Once a meeting is scheduled, you will receive an email invitation along with further details. Learn more about the FLN.
For any questions, please contact Kevin Di Sanza at kdisanza@oha.com.
Data and Analytics Dashboards
The OHA's Data & Analytics platform supports hospitals with accurate, insightful data to enable quick analysis and evidence-informed decision making. The platform includes foundational data and benchmarking platforms in finance, human resources (HR), patient experience and governance. You will have access to the various finance and HR suite of tools. Learn more about the finance suite of tools, and the HR suite of tools available to you.

Member Communications
You will begin to receive member bulletins from the OHA developed to keep hospital members apprised of the latest developments and important updates affecting the sector. These include the weekly Services, Resources, Guidance bulletin – sent on Thursdays – which compiles relevant updates from across the health care system, and the ad hoc Health System Updates bulletins, which each focus on a key issue.
For questions, please contact communications@oha.com.
Daily Media Clippings Report: The OHA has engaged a service provider to produce a daily report of media clippings (weekdays and excluding holidays) from across the province featuring articles about hospital members or issues that may impact Ontario's hospitals. Sign up to receive these bulletins by emailing mbozic@oha.com.
