2012: Following an extensive restructuring process, CACHCA is re-launched as the Canadian Association of Community Health Centres (CACHC). More than just a name change, the restructuring ushers in an exciting new era for Community Health Centres and community-oriented primary health care across Canada. The association launches an expanded effort across Canada to improve access for Canadians to high-quality, people-centred and community-oriented primary health care. See a full chronological timeline and highlights for both CACHC and the former CACHCA.
