Guarding Canada’s Health System:

The History of the Canadian Healthcare Association, 1931 to 2006

This book describes the formation of CHA in 1931 and follows its evolution over the next 75 years. CHA’s history parallels in many ways the development of Canada’s health care system. The book details the events that influenced the association’s development and outlines it historical relationships with both its provincial members and other national health organizations. Other chapters highlight CHA’s entry into intensive advocacy efforts and policy development, which form its core activity today. There are also chapters on publishing, distance education, conferences, governance, and brief biographies of key leaders in the organization. The book includes photos, an extensive bibliography and an index. Sponsorship for this book was provided by the Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Institute for Health Information, Sun Life Financial and Merck Frosst Canada.
