HealthCareCAN is the national voice of hospitals, health authorities, health research, and healthcare organizations across Canada. We foster informed and continuous, results-oriented discovery and innovation across the continuum of healthcare.
Canada has the potential to be a global leader in #ClinicalTrials, but other countries are moving faster. Our op-ed outlines how federal leadership can strengthen competitiveness & grow our share of a rapidly expanding global market. www.hilltimes.com/2026/04/22/c... #CDNHealth #CDNpoli
Modern care requires modern physical & digital infrastructure. But over 50% of hospitals & health facilities were built 50+ yrs ago. #Budget2026 is an opportunity to treat health infrastructure as nation-building. Learn more: www.healthcarecan.ca/our-work/our... @unityhealthto.bsky.social
Other countries are moving quickly to attract more trials, investment & life sciences growth. To compete, we need faster start-up timelines, stronger national coordination & investment in site-level readiness #Budget2026 can make 🇨🇦 a #ClinicalTrials powerhouse www.healthcarecan.ca/our-work/our...
🇨🇦 has what it takes to be a global #ClinicalTrials powerhouse. But our position is under pressure. #Budget2026 is an opportunity to strengthen our system w/ investments in national platforms, site readiness, workforce capacity & faster trial activation More: www.healthcarecan.ca/our-work/our...
Canada’s life sciences opportunity is too important to leave to chance. We rank just 17th among the top 25 innovative countries. A federal #lifesciences industrial strategy can help 🇨🇦 turn #cdnresearch strength into jobs, investment, domestic scale-up & better access to #innovation. #Budget2026
“Canada’s missing life sciences industrial strategy is leaving economic growth on the table.” Canada has the building blocks. What we need now is a roadmap that brings the sector and government together around shared priorities. www.healthcarecan.ca/2026/02/02/c... #Budget2026 #CDNPoli #CDNHealth
Health infrastructure is care infrastructure, innovation infrastructure and economic infrastructure. #Budget2026 should launch a 10-year federal capital health infrastructure program with dedicated physical and digital streams. www.healthcarecan.ca/our-work/our... #CDNHealth #CDNPoli
Canada’s healthcare system is the original nation-building project, sustaining that project requires long-term investment in the hospitals, technology and community health infrastructure that make modern care possible. Read more: www.healthcarecan.ca/2026/03/23/c... #Budget2026 #CDNHealth
🇨🇦 has what it takes to compete in health & life sciences - we need a stronger strategy to move innovation from discovery 2 commercialization 2 patient care. Our members must be core partners in that strategy. Our #Budget2026 recommendations: www.healthcarecan.ca/our-work/our... #CDNPoli #CDNHealth
Healthcare workers did not sign up to be assaulted while doing their job. Pass Bill S-233 and protect the people who care for Canadians. www.stjoes.ca/quality-perf... #CDNHealth #CDNPoli #S233
Congrats to Hamilton Health Sciences on pioneering this innovative burn treatment and helping a young patient move forward #ClinicalTrials = patient care. Policy & funding is needed to ensure access regardless of postal code. www.hamiltonhealthsciences.ca/share/world-... #CDNHealth #Budget2026
Researchers at @ottawahospital.on.ca compared 2 commonly used blood clot treatments and found 1 to have fewer complications. #ClinicalTrials improve #PatientSafety. #Budget2026 should help 🇨🇦 strengthen infrastructure that makes this research possible. ohri.ca/en/newsroom/...

@unityhealthto.bsky.social’s GEMINI program brings together billions of data points to support research, quality improvement & safer care. Hospitals, health authorities & health research orgs must be central to a fed. life sciences industrial strategy. unityhealth.to/2022/05/gemi... #Budget2026
@nshinnovationhub.bsky.social is launching a #clinicaltrial to target radiation directly to a tumour, limiting exposure Strong nat'l coordination, fast trial activation & targeted investments = more trials & access + stong life sciences sector innovationhub.nshealth.ca/news-and-upd... #Budget2026
@sharedhealthmb.bsky.social investing $1.5B to replace old facilities & create ~240 new rooms built to current infection prevention and control standards. #Budget2026 should build on projects like this w/ a long-term federal capital health infrastructure program. sharedhealthmb.ca/news/2023-08...
@uhn.ca has recruited 70+ scientists to Canada, strengthening the talent base needed for research, commercialization & econ. growth. This is why hospitals & health research orgs must be at the centre of a fed. life sciences industrial strategy. www.uhn.ca/corporate/Ne... #Budget2026 #CDNHealth
The #CDNHealth system is at a turning point, shaped by fiscal pressures, an aging population, workforce strain, & rapid technological change. Our members rose to meet the moment and our 2025 Impact Report tells the story of what we accomplished together. www.healthcarecan.ca/about-us/ann...
1 in 4 children in Canada lives with a chronic illness. 1 in 5 experiences mental health challenges. Approx. 1 in 10 does not have a primary care provider. Bill S-212 would change that. Send a letter calling on the House of Commons to pass it. cps.ca/en/advocacy-... @childhealthcan.bsky.social
At @sickkidsto.bsky.social, new research infrastructure will help researchers use AI & machine learning to develop precise diagnostics & therapies This is why hospitals & health research orgs must be central to a fed. life sciences industrial strategy www.sickkids.ca/en/news/arch... #Budget2026
🌎 Canada is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, yet we consistently rank in the bottom 3rd of peer nations on child well-being. Speak up for children’s health. Send a letter to your MP in support of Bill S-212. 🔗 cps.ca/en/advocacy-... @childhealthcan.bsky.social
