 Read all about it: It's Synergy!
Synergy is AOHC's publication for those who don't work in health centres or health promotion every day but want to know what our members care about. It outlines the campaigns and news you see yourselves in this bulletin week after week. It's for your board, your LHIN, the Ministry, our partners and other people of influence. You are welcome to spread it widely. Take a look yourself!
À lire absolument! C'est Synergie!
Synergie est une publication de l'ACSO destinée à des lecteurs qui, sans travailler dans les centres de santé communautaire ou à la promotion de la santé au quotidien, s'intéressent à ce qui préoccupe nos membres.

Synergie s'adresse à votre conseil d'administration, à votre RLISS, au ministère, à nos partenaires et à d'autres personnes d'intérêt et d'influence. N'hésitez pas à la diffuser largement.
