Canadian Health Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canadian Health Network (CHN) is a national, bilingual health promotion service operated by the Public Health Agency of Canada and major health organizations across Canada. It is an on-line collaborative service and includes health information providers such as national and provincial/territorial non-profit organizations, as well as universities, hospitals, libraries and community organizations. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) is the workplace health afiliate.

CHN offers dependable, up-to-date information on health promotion and disease and injury prevention, to help individuals and communities make healthy choices that improve the quality of their life. It is known to be of the most comprehensive networks of its kind in the world.

In November of 2007, the Public Health Agency of Canada announced that effective March 31, 2008, the Canadian Health Network will lose its funding. [1]
