The Health Network is a coalition of local health committees, community groups, organized labour, faith groups and concerned individuals dedicated to protecting, strengthening, and expanding public health care to include services like pharmacare, dental care, long-term care and home care.

The Health Network is political but non-partisan and receives no government funding.  Our budget comes strictly from our members.

Health Network Endorses Canadian Federation of Students Day of Action
Calls for Health Human Resources Plan

 

 

Halifax, NS – The Nova Scotia Citizens’ Health Care Network has endorsed the Canadian Federation of Students National Day of Student Action on Wednesday, February 1st.  The Health Network believes the cuts to university operating grants and increases in student fees will result in fewer health care workers here in Nova Scotia as debt loads drive young workers away.
