Toronto Health Coalition rally against privatization of public health care on Sept. 24 2025

“The Ford government is privatizing our public hospitals in a move that is costing patients thousands of dollars and taking away from our local public hospital services. Everyone’s help is needed to pressure them to stop it.” - Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition.

Since 2023, Independent Health Facilities are licensed as Integrated Community Health Services Centres (ICHSCs) and commonly referred to as community surgical and diagnostic centres.

Remember to distribute and sign our petition to the federal government to enforce the Canada Health Act in Ontario where the Ford government is violating it with private clinics.

Note: after you fill in the information and submit it, the House of Commons website will automatically send an email to your email and you must click on the link they send that says "Please confirm your support to complete the process" in order to finalize the addition of your name.

• Here is the link to the printable petitions. Both are in English and French. We have three months to get as many signatures as possible on both.
