Ways to Participate with the ÉSOCDOHT

Participation across the OHT is intended to reflect the full diversity of the Cochrane District, including Indigenous and Francophone communities, and other priority populations. Together, these varied perspectives support the development of a more integrated, accessible, and patient-centered health system that improves outcomes and strengthens community well-being. Below you will find descriptions of many of the committees and areas you can participate.

They are part of our Steering Committee, working group, survey group, or other table where they contribute experience and insight to ensure the voice of the community is brought into the decision-making process.
