Strong data is essential for funding and advocacy, but CHCs face barriers from inconsistent systems, challenges in tracking, privacy concerns and a hesitancy toward Western data practices. Our 2025 National Survey outlines these barriers CHCs are facing and provides recommendations. https://www.cachc.ca/projects/

Des données fiables sont essentielles pour le financement et le plaidoyer, mais les CSC se heurtent à des obstacles liés à l'incohérence des systèmes, aux difficultés de suivi, aux préoccupations en matière de confidentialité et à une certaine réticence envers les pratiques occidentales en matière de données. Notre sondage national de 2025 décrit ces obstacles et formule des recommandations. https://www.cachc.ca/projects/

CHCs work to meet people where they are, but barriers like transportation, literacy and language access still prevent many from seeking care. CHCs are working to close these gaps and deliver culturally sensitive and equity-driven care. https://www.cachc.ca/projects/

Les CSC s'efforcent d'aller à la rencontre des gens là où ils se trouvent, mais des obstacles comme le transport, l'analphabétisme et l'accès à la langue empêchent encore bien des gens de se faire soigner. Les CSC travaillent à combler ces lacunes et à offrir des soins adaptés aux réalités culturelles et axés sur l'équité.

CACHC conducted a national survey of CHCs to assess the current landscape and priorities of CHCs across Canada. Over 70 CHCs from 8 provinces participated. The survey informed a comprehensive analysis of Canadian CHC service delivery, workforce capacity, funding sources, and the evolving needs of CHCs. The report also offers policy and practice recommendations to strengthen the effectiveness and long-term sustainability of CHCs across Canada. This survey details the importance of CHCs and the vital role they play in the healthcare landscape, which needs further investment and guaranteed governmental support to thrive. The insights will guide our advocacy work, strengthen sector visibility, and help inform national priorities for CHCs
