About the CAPHC Annual Conference

The CAPHC Annual Conference is the largest annual meeting of the child and youth healthcare provider community in Canada. The Conference engages a broad stakeholder group that includes Hospital CEOs, Chief Financial Officers, Senior Administrators, Physicians, Clinical Directors, Multidisciplinary Practitioners, Policy Makers, Researchers, Families, Youth and many others.

As part of the CAPHC tradition, the Annual Conference will showcase the emergence of effective and innovative models of care, as well as highlight the needs, challenges and strategies to ensure access to the very best healthcare for all children and youth.

The Annual Conference draws attention to the true collaborative nature of the CAPHC community and will highlight many national partnerships and collaborative programs with the CAPHC Patient Safety Collaborative, Canadian Child and Youth Health Coalition, the Canadian Family Advisory Network, the Canadian Network of Child and Youth Rehabilitation, and many more!

In the past our conference has addressed important and challenging issues in child and youth health, and has invited speakers and delegates to share challenges and propose solutions. This year, while continuing to take a holistic, multidisciplinary, cross-sectoral, systems level approach to health service delivery, we will drill down and focus on demonstrating improved outcomes and bring evidence to what is really working.

The conference will provide a mix of Keynote and Plenary sessions, Concurrent Symposia and Workshops. A highly energized Poster and Exhibit Fair will also be a highlight of this annual event. 

All programming will engage the delegates in open discussion and provide all with an opportunity to share and learn in a highly collaborative setting!
