OHA

Founded in 1924, the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) uses advocacy, education and partnerships to build a strong, innovative and sustainable health care system for all Ontarians. Over the years, the OHA has influenced and helped shape health care policy in Ontario — from helping the government establish the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in the 1950s to harnessing the efficiencies of group buying power by creating Ontario’s Hospital Purchasing Program in the 1970s. Today, representing approximately 155 public hospitals, the OHA assumes a leadership role, focused on patients, promoting an efficient and effective health system.
