Background
The Canadian Association of Paediatric Hospitals (CAPH) was co-founded in 1968 by
the leaders of the Children’s Hospitals in Canada. Over the subsequent three
decades, many child and youth healthcare organizations across Canada underwent fundamental operational and structural changes creating a new landscape of
healthcare delivery for children, youth and families.
To better respond to these emerging healthcare challenges, CAPHC was established
and incorporated in 2001 through a transformative process of organizational renewal
of the Canadian Association of Paediatric Hospitals.
Since 2001, CAPHC has diversified its membership, partnerships and programs, to reflect
its focus on health service delivery across the continuum of care. In the eight
years post transformation (from CAPH), CAPHC has experienced significant growth,
has achieved success in the implementation of a number of national programs, and
has acted to coalesce the child and youth health service delivery community in Canada.
Today, CAPHC is proud to support forty-three member organizations that include
tertiary, quaternary, community and regional hospitals, rehabilitation centres and
home care provider agencies across Canada. All children’s hospitals in Canada and
their respective Children’s Hospital Foundations are members of CAPHC, providing strong linkages to clinical care, education and research.
