Who We Are

Our Vision: Better Leadership, Better Health - Together

Founded in 2009, we are a not-for-profit network of 40+ Canadian health organizations (called Network Partners) formed on the values of trust and reciprocity. 

CHLNet Team & Secretariat

We are comprised of a small core team of staff, advisors, emeritus positions, and a Secretariat that works in partnership with the Network Partner organizations across Canada.
