Advocacy update: recent discussions with MOH
January 15, 2026
The Academy continues its advocacy work on behalf of Hamilton physicians, with recent discussions focused on access to care, fair compensation, and the resources needed to sustain a healthy local health system. Representatives have engaged with the Ministry of Health to ensure that the perspectives of front-line physicians inform policy decisions affecting the region.
Key themes from these conversations include reducing administrative burden, supporting recruitment and retention of physicians in the Greater Hamilton area, and improving coordination between hospitals, clinics, and community services. The Academy will keep members informed as these discussions progress.
Members with questions or who wish to contribute to the Academy's advocacy efforts are encouraged to reach out. A unified physician voice remains the most effective way to shape a sustainable and accessible health system for our community.
