MACH Strategic Priorities 2018-2021

Meaningfully engage in reconciliation

MACH will work with our Members and partners to develop and implement ways of meaningfully engaging in reconciliation, with the development of a plan to support ongoing reconciliation and moving from reconciliation and reconciliACTION.

Increase the awareness of community health centres and the value of community health as a model of care

MACH wants to get better at telling our story. This includes research that explains the impact of CHCs, strong communication tools and plans, and engaging with our stakeholders around the benefits of a community health approach. MACH will also continue advocacy & awareness raising at all levels of government as aligned with MACH’s vision and mission.

Support a strengthened response to addictions and mental health

MACH wants to see a better response to addiction and mental health, particularly in a way that recognizes the effect of poverty, racism and colonization. This includes MACH member responses working toward improved harm reduction within CHCs, as well as MACH’s influence/encouragement of positive change in the larger health system.
