When frontline healthcare workers talk about their needs, it is apparent just how disconnected they are from their peers. Their choice to work on the frontlines, with often-ignored populations or in remote towns, has marginalized them from mainstream health networks. Little infrastructure exists to connect frontline workers so they can share and learn from one another.

Through Frontline Health, we aim to

• Build communities of practice around frontline health issues
• Connect frontline workers - establish and expand their networks - so they can exchange information, share valuable resources and accelerate the transfer of knowledge and best practices.
• Explore how to better recruit, train and retain frontline practitioners, thereby improving the capacity of Canada's healthcare system to serve marginalized populations.

If you have any projects or ideas that will help build this community, we encourage you to submit a funding application here.
