2011: Under the banner theme Community Health Centres: Acting Today, Shaping Tomorrow, 1000 delegates from over 20 countries gather in Toronto, Ontario (June 2011) for the largest-ever international conference on CHCs.
Co-hosted by CACHCA, the Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC) and the U.S. National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), the three-day gathering invites global representatives from Community Health Centres, governments, academic institutions and other partner agencies to explore a wide range of topics in community-oriented primary health care.
Among the exciting outcomes of the conference, delegates call for the establishment of an International Federation of Community Health Centres to carry forward collaborative, community-oriented primary health care efforts around the globe. Shortly after, discussions and planning begin among key global partners. Launch of the new International Federation of CHCs is scheduled for 2013.
