The 2023 - 2027 Strategic Plan

The 2023 – 2027 AMHO Strategic Plan will guide our priorities, and will position us to advocate and work effectively with government and continue to lead change that will revolutionize the addiction and mental health care experience for people in Ontario.

In this strategic plan, AMHO commits to advance its crucial mission in three key areas over the next four years:

  1. Mobilize the sector to drive high performance.
  2. Advocate for system transformation and equitable investment.
  3. Serve our members and their communities.

Activity in each of these three strategic areas is mutually reinforcing. By pushing for change in all three areas, we can drive the system-level change that our members and the public needs and deserves.
