Governments across Canada are working to improve Primary Health
Care: basic, everyday health care for every Canadian. Primary
Health Care has the potential to keep waiting lists down, lessen
the pressure on emergency rooms and make the system more sustainable.
CASLPA has joined Dieticians of Canada, Canadian Pharmacists,
the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, and several other organizations
as a partner in a Primary Health Care Campaign being undertaken
by the National Primary Health Care Awareness Strategy. The
program falls under the Primary Health Care Transition Fund,
the same fund that encompasses the EICP initiative CASLPA is
involved with. Our partnership was recognized in a four page
supplement in the Globe and Mail published Monday, November
14.
The goal of the campaign, which will run until March, 2006,
is to raise public awareness of primary health care focusing
on the issues of health care teams, information, access and
healthy living.
As a partner, CASLPA will help distribute Primary Health Care
information through our membership. There is a 3-panel brochure
(with tabletop holder) bundled in a package of 50, as well as
an 11" x 17" poster, available free of charge for
you to make available to your clients.
