When Ontarians cannot access primary health care in their community, it causes strain on other parts of the health care system, such as emergency and acute care.

Today, the Alliance for Healthier Communities, along with nine other provincial associations representing Ontario’s community health sector and its hundreds of thousands of dedicated staff, are standing together to raise wide awareness of the large and growing wage gap impacting the care that millions of people in Ontario rely on.
