NEWS & EVENTS
GHHN July 2023 Newsletter
Happy Summer Partners! The first six months of the year have already passed us by. It has been filled with hard work, complex issues to discuss and great successes. Over the past 6 months we have brought on amazing initiatives like the lower limb preservation project, LEGHO community program and completed 2 more women’s health days. None of this would be possible without partnerships, relationships, and dedication to serve patients. We see many leadership changes across the GHHN – we wish everyone transitioning the best of luck in their new roles, happy retirement to some and a warm welcome to new leaders and board members.
The Importance of Gender Affirming Care
Bodily autonomy continues to face unprecedented challenges, even in the 21st century. Globally, gender affirming care has been politicized to justify restricting or limiting access to – for many – life saving care. As anti-trans groups continue to organize locally and globally, we stand in support of our local Two-Spirit, transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse communities. The Greater Hamilton Health Network (GHHN) recognizes the right to receive gender-affirming care for all in our catchment area and beyond.
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.

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.
