Pan-Canadian Health Organizations: Health Workforce in Action

Building towards a strong resilient health workforce in Canada is a key health system priority at federal, provincial/territorial, and local levels. Health workers form the backbone of Canada’s health system, and ensuring we have a solid foundation of data and modelling to support health workforce planning and policy in Canada is essential for the future.​ 

The Pan-Canadian Health Organizations (PCHOs) have coordinated an overview of the range of health workforce activities and projects underway for users to leverage the breadth of work on health workforce across the country. ​ 

The PCHOs’ activities are organized around the four pillars of Health Workforce Canada’s strategic framework: Convening the Networks, Enhancing and Accessing Data, Modelling and Forecasting, and Sharing What Works – each grounded in a foundation of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and a commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territories of many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We are grateful to the people who have cared for the land for centuries and the current stewards who care for it today. We recognize and celebrate the strength and resilience of Indigenous health workers, and we embrace the opportunity to work closely together to advance cultural safety for those who provide care and those we care for.

Who we are

Health Workforce Canada was established in 2023 to strengthen health workforce data and planning to ensure health workers are there to provide the care people need.

We bring people together to identify what works and what doesn’t in health workforce data, planning, policy and care. Through our efforts, we are contributing to a cost-effective and sustainable health care system.
