À l'occasion de la Journée de sensibilisation aux surdoses (#OverdoseAwarenessDay), nous soutenons nos membres et leur continuum de soins fondé sur des données probantes, y compris la réduction des méfaits (#HarmReduction), qui a prouvé son efficacité pour sauver des vies et aider les personnes à accéder aux traitements et aux soutiens. Nous sommes impatients de contribuer à la construction d'un système de soins en santé mentale plus équitable en Ontario.

On #OverdoseAwarenessDay, we stand w/ our members and their evidence-informed continuum of care, including #HarmReduction, that's proven to save lives, and help people connect to treatment and supports. We look forward to helping build more equitable #MentalHealth care in Ontario.

Harm reduction and supervised consumption are proven, evidence-informed approaches to mental health and addictions care, and part of the continuum of comprehensive primary health care. Our statement on closures of CTS sites across Ontario: https://lnkd.in/gQNtXJTP #HarmReduction #HealthEquity

Despite the rising cost of living, Ontario's community health sector saw only a 1.53% average salary increase in 2023, while their peers in other sectors received increases up to 11%. Let's work together to close this wage gap. #ForUsForYou #ONhealth #ONpoli #CDNhealth #CDNpoli Malgré la hausse du coût de la vie, le secteur de la santé communautaire de l’Ontario n’a connu qu’une augmentation salariale moyenne de 1,53 % en 2023, alors que ses homologues d’autres secteurs ont bénéficié d’augmentations allant jusqu’à 11 %. Travaillons ensemble à combler cet écart salarial. #PourVousPourNous

We are excited to announce that The Alliance was present today at TAIBU Community Health Centre’s event where Hon. Sylvia Jones, Ontario Minister of Health, revealed a $14 million investment to connect up to 49,000 people in Toronto to primary care teams. This initiative is part of a larger $110 million investment aimed at connecting 328,000 Ontarians to primary care providers. Also in attendance were Hon. Raymond Sung Joon Cho, Minister for Seniors and Accessibility, Hon. Vijay Thanigasalam, Associate Minister of Housing, David Smith, MPP of Scarborough Centre, and Aris Babikian, MPP of Scarborough. At The Alliance, we are dedicated to supporting investments in interprofessional primary care teams (IPCTs) as they play a crucial role in providing accessible, comprehensive healthcare. This significant funding will enhance healthcare access, ensuring more people receive the care they need in their communities. Sarah Hobbs CEO of The Alliance, declared, “We congratulate the Ontario Government on its continued investments in the expansion of inter-professional primary care teams across Ontario. We are very pleased with the investments announced today in local communities such as the Afrocentric Inter-professional Primary Care Teams at TAIBU CHC with Rexdale and Black Creek CHC. Fully resourced inter-professional primary health care teams at community health organizations can keep people connected to primary care, social and community supports and divert away from emergency care. Investing in the expansion of IPCTs is a good step towards connecting people in Ontario to primary health care.” We applaud this initiative and we are looking forward to seeing the positive impact of these investments on our communities. 🌟 #PrimaryCare #HealthcareAccess #ONHealth
