Re: Invitation to Community Health and Wellbeing Week 2014 XXXXXXXXX eventat XXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Mr. or Ms. [Last name of MPP if a Parliamentary Assistant or non-Minister] or Dear Minister [if they are a Minister],

Between October 5thand October 11th, 113 community-governed primary healthcare organizations across Ontario will be taking part in an annual celebration of Community Health and Wellbeing Week using the theme Shift the Conversation: Community Health & Wellbeing.

The week of special events is being organized by the Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC), of which our centre is a member, represents Ontario’s 75 Community Health Centres (CHCs), 10 Aboriginal Health Access Centres (AHACs), 14 Community-governed Family Health Teams (CFHTs) and 13 Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinics (NPLCs); centres who work to ensure services are oriented to the specific needs of the diverse communities they serve.

The week-long series of community events across the province are designed to spotlight the importance of reframing the conversation about health and health care in Ontario to address the determinants of health – preventing more so we can treat less. The events will highlight the need for a more comprehensive approach to improving the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.

As [Executive Director] of XXXXXXX, we are very proud to invite you to join us during Community Health and Wellbeing Week, where we will be spotlighting how our programs and services are promoting health and wellbeing, advancing health equity and providing services with better value for healthcare dollars. This is a unique opportunity to experience and see first-hand the breadth of initiativesoffered at XXXXXX, such as XXXXXX, that meet the specific needs of XXXXXXXXX and speak to your commitment to for improving the wellbeing of our communities. There will be over xxx in attendance as well as members of the media.

We will be in touch with your office to arrange a date and discuss options for site visits. However you are welcome to contact XXXXXX directly if you would like to discuss your participation in our XXXXX annual Community Health and Wellbeing Week.

We very much hope that you will be able to join us on XXXXXXXXXXXXX.
