Our Partners

Healthcare Excellence Canada works with partners from coast to coast to coast to strengthen safety, quality and equity across the health and social care system. Guided by our strategy, we connect people, evidence and action to help improvements take root and spread.

Improving healthcare in Canada takes more than good ideas. It takes the right conditions, strong relationships and evidence applied where it matters most.

Healthcare Excellence Canada works with partners from coast to coast to coast to strengthen safety, quality and equity across the health and social care system. Guided by our strategy, we connect people, evidence and action to help improvements take root and spread. We collaborate with a wide range of partners, including:

  • Patients, families and caregivers

  • Healthcare providers, leaders and improvement teams

  • Healthcare quality and safety organizations

  • First Nations, Inuit and Métis partners

  • Governments, health regions and system partners

Together, these partnerships help turn evidence into action to improve care and experiences for people across Canada.

Moving Care Forward, Together

Change happens when we work together.

Our partners play a key role in helping teams improve care. By strengthening connections across the system, they help teams access the knowledge, funding and support they need to put evidence into practice. Through partnership, we work to:

  • Create the conditions for improvement at local, regional and national levels

  • Support teams to learn, adapt and apply proven approaches in their own contexts

  • Strengthen capability and confidence to improve care over time

  • Accelerate the spread of evidence-based practices that improve outcomes and experiences

Together, we’re helping healthcare changemakers improve care in their communities while contributing to lasting system-wide impact.
