Health Charities Coalition of Canada

Membership in HCCC

The HCCC provides a strong voice on common interests in areas of shared concern to Canadian national health charities. The Coalition acts as a resource to member organizations and facilitates networking opportunities. Because of the close ties between national health charities and Canadians, the HCCC can ensure that the concerns of the people of Canada about health and the health system are heard by policy and decision-makers.
