Building Community Health Together
The Greater Hamilton Health Network (GHHN) is one of the first Ontario Health Teams across the province, with a purpose of transforming healthcare in partnership with patients, families, care partners, primary care, local organizations and the community.
A collaboration of local health and social service partners the GHHN includes representation from more than 40 organizations. We are a dedicated group of professionals, organizations and people with lived experience working to co-design a patient centred, health system grounded in engagement, health equity and the local needs of the communities we serve across Hamilton, Haldimand, and Niagara Northwest.
The Greater Hamilton Health Network is supported by funding from the Government of Ontario.
WhaT is an OHT?

NEWS & EVENTS
Mental Health Week 2023
CMHA National announces the Mental Health Week theme each year. The theme this year was #MyStory, in recognition that everyone has a story to tell about mental health. Your Story may be about your own personal experience, or how mental illness
has touched your life through the experience of a loved one, someone you care for, or a work experience. Story telling is powerful, it’s healing, and it opens the door to being vulnerable and to being validated. It allows us to learn from each others’
experiences and build human connection. Mental Health Week (May 1-7) recognized that collectively and individually we all have multiple layers and stories that make us who we are.
GHHN May 2023 Newsletter
May brings a dedicated focus on mental health week, the GHHN has also focused May on bringing attention to harm reduction as an equitable philosophy of care. Harm reduction education and activities are taking part throughout the month and we hope you can take the time to take part or learn from our local colleagues who have done incredible work in this space. At the April partnership meeting, we updated partners on the various working groups dedicated to integrated population health – it was incredible to see so many partners involved in system transformation – moving from planning to system design and care delivery for the patients we serve. Thank you for being excited and open to collective impact!

Building Health Equity in the Greater Hamilton Area
In the fall of 2020, the Greater Hamilton Health Network began the important work of implementing their vision to provide an equitable and seamless continuum of care that actively improves population health, while meeting the individual needs of the community.
As part of this work, the GHHN recognized and identified the need to engage the voices of communities who face systemic discrimination or marginalization to understand how this impacts access to universal and accessible health care, knowing that inequity drives poor health.
We are pleased to share our community driven Health Equity Report that shares the voices of our communities and our bold vision for an equitable and culturally safe healthcare system that is patient centered.
