Community Partnership Toolkit

Building on existing work from AOHT organizations*, we’ve curated tools and templates into a one-stop toolkit for organizations looking to start or strengthen their partnership and engagement activities with patients, clients, family members, caregivers, individuals with lived and living experience, and other citizens.

*We would like to acknowledge and thank Sault Area Hospital, a member of the Algoma OHT, for their substantial contributions to this toolkit.
