2022 Health Action Assembly & Annual ConferenceDoug Ford won another majority government in Ontario and that presents daunting challenges for the defenders of public Medicare. However, along with our challenges we also have opportunities. Significant funding has flowed, the federal government is considering increasing funding, possibly with strings attached which would be positive, and health care is very much in the public eye.
This is the time we need fearless, strong, ambitious action and strategy to stop privatization, force Ford to address the health care staffing crisis and make good on his promises to improve long-term care. From hospitals to long-term care to home care, we are in crisis. This year’s assembly is critically important. Join us for briefings, speakers, report-ins and action planning.
Hotel Rooms: We have reserved a block at a reduced rate at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto on 475 Yonge Street. The rate is at $259 per night. To book your room, please click this link to book online at the discounted rate (coming soon) or call 1 (800) 847-5075 and cite Ontario Health Coalition as the group name to receive the reduced rate. Please book as soon as possible, as space is limited and the deadline to book your hotel room at the discounted rate is Friday September 2.
Local Coalitions: are asked to please seek local funding first to subsidize your travel costs. If you need a subsidy from the Ontario Health Coalition, we will fund up to two representatives from each active local health coalition including hotel and travel costs. All subsidies must be pre-approved by Natalie Mehra, executive director. Note: we will subsidize amounts up to the block rate for a hotel room and gas (not mileage) or train/plane.
