CAHO advocates on behalf of its members and all of Ontario to achieve strategic objectives and provide for best possible care for our patients.

Ontario Health Research and Innovation Council

Unlike several other provinces, Ontario currently lacks an overarching health research strategy to ensure that the innovation cycle from discovery to practice is complete. An effective strategy would bring government, researchers, academic health sciences centres, the private sector, and the public together to ensure that the best health research is translated into the best health care delivery and fosters growth of the knowledge-based economy. CAHO proposes the creation of the Ontario Health Research and Innovation Council, to drive the health research agenda in Ontario.

Ontario’s research hospitals are inventing the future of health care. Every day, the people who work in our community make great strides in improving the health of all Ontarians, often being the first in Canada, or the world, to try a new therapy, an innovative technology or a new way of delivering care to improve the lives of patients.
