Updates


  • Canadian H1N1 Information Clearinghouse Fact Sheet
    On behalf of Debra Lynkowski, we are pleased to post the fact sheet about the Canadian H1N1 Information Clearinghouse. This initiative has been under development for the past month and came about as a result of inquiries for information on H1N1 from external sources. The Clearinghouse will support communication from PHAC and local authorities and redirect inquiries to these sources, where appropriate.

Heart Health

  • The Heart Health Resource Centre, a program of the OPHA, enhances the capacity of public health agencies and their community partners to implement comprehensive, multi-risk factor, community-based heart health programs.

Health Promotion

  • Health Promotion 101 (HP-101) - a newly developed online course targeted at health professionals. It is free, and modular. Practitioners can go through each of the 9 sections sequentially at their own pace. It was developed collaborativelly among our 22 member organizations with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. People come to work in health promotion through many and varied paths, and most report a need for additional professional development. This course will help people familiarize themselves with essential health promotion concepts and, in so doing, will help raise the profile of health promotion in Ontario.
