The Legacy Groups of PCMCH

In December 2006, the Provincial Council for Children’s Health (PCCH) was established by the Government of Ontario and Ontario’s Paediatric Academic Health Sciences Centres (PAHSCs) as a new provincial organization which consolidated and built on the combined strengths and achievements of its two legacy organizations: the Ontario Children’s Health Network (OCHN) and the Specialized Paediatric Coordinating Council (SPCC). The PCCH was accountable to the government and the PAHSCs .

Specialized Paediatric Coordinating Council (2002) + Ontario Children’s Health Network (2003) = Provincial Council for Children’s Health (2006) → Provincial Council for Maternal and Child Health (2008).
