Advocacy in Action

Election 2021 Update
For information on our key priority areas for the 2021 federal election, please visit our page Emerging Stronger: Our Election Imperative

HealthCareCAN advocates for solutions that enhance the health of Canadians. We engage health leaders, health researchers and policymakers to drive national conversations to transform health in Canada.

Our advocacy work includes:

  • Representing member interests in meetings with members of Parliament, Senators, government officials and Parliamentary committees;
  • Publishing and disseminating in-depth analysis and government policy submissions on key health issues;
  • Building communities of policymakers, governments, health organizations, patients and others to drive transformation in health;
  • Leading and participating in national health campaigns;
  • Hosting events to shape and share perspectives and develop leadership in nationally relevant health topics
