About the Alliance for Healthier Communities

The Alliance is the voice of a vibrant network of community-governed primary health care organizations. Alliance members serve diverse communities across the province of Ontario, and they are rooted in the communities they serve. They share a commitment to advancing health equity through the delivery of comprehensive primary health care.

Our Vision

Equitable health and wellbeing for everyone living in Ontario.

Our Mission

Advance comprehensive primary health care and advocate for changes in Ontario’s health and social systems to address inequities.

The Alliance for Healthier Communities’ website is a Drupal-based platform and serves as a central hub of information for both the public and our members. It provides an overview of the organization’s mission, programs, and initiatives, and offers access to key resources such as conference information, learning and training opportunities, and a publicly accessible job board. The site also includes a secure, members-only area where authorized users can sign in to access exclusive materials, resources, and updates. As a multifaceted platform, the website plays a critical role in supporting communication, engagement, and knowledge-sharing across our community.

However, the current website is outdated and challenging to maintain. The Alliance is seeking a Consultant who can identify and recommend a bilingual and scalable platform that meets our technical and functional needs, develop an updated and engaging design, and provide training to ensure the Alliance can effectively manage and sustain the new website moving forward.
