  • Investing in children today, builds a stronger Canada tomorrow. Evidence shows that Canada’s children’s health systems are stretched thin, and as a result, not all children and youth in this country receive the care they need. The economic impacts are significant.

@childhealthcan and @cchfoundations are pleased to launch a groundbreaking report, Thrive: The Economic Case for Investing in Children’s Healthcare providing evidence to support the social return on investments in children’s healthcare. This first national economic analysis demonstrates that every dollar invested in children’s healthcare generates nearly a nearly five-fold return to children, youth, their families and our country.  Building a stronger, more equitable Canada starts with children.
