The Ontario Community Health Profiles Partnership (OCHPP) makes high-quality, area-specific, health-related data available to everyone. Our team comprises experts in primary care, geospatial and data analytics partnered with public health professionals, community agencies and researchers. We provide data and maps both at the local and larger areas of geography. Local level maps shine a light on health equity concerns that may be masked at larger areas allowing policy makers to identify and address gaps in access to care. Through our open-access, freely accessible website, we provide free data and maps for everyone to use, download and share. We provide health and health-related indicators in three basic forms: data tables, bar charts and health data maps.
NEW: Ontario Physician Networks Populations – Data for Ontario Health Team Planning
"Ontario Health Teams are being introduced to provide a new way of organizing and delivering care that is more connected to patients in their local communities. Under Ontario Health Teams, health care providers (including hospitals, doctors and home and community care providers) work as one coordinated team – no matter where they provide care." (See references)For more information on the methodology, see this blog
Partners: Our long-term partners and current clients include health-care planners, hospital administrators, health agencies and scientists. Our team of experts can help partners and new clients conduct research to better understand and predict trends in local areas using spatial analytic methods linked to administrative health and socio-demographic data.

Thank you for the great job!
We have worked with OCHPP since 2015, and I have to say that ontariohealthprofiles.ca has transformed the way I research and analyze health data. The approachable format and readily accessible information allows us to obtain numerous demographic and health indicators and make fast decisions for many of our regional planning projects. A lot of my colleagues and our business partners also benefit from this website. I am looking forward to seeing continued data updates, improvements and new features on the website.

Ontario Community Health Profiles Partnership (OCHPP) has been outstanding in providing us data at the small area level that we would not otherwise have access to. Thanks to their great partnership with ICES they are able to tap into more in-depth health information that greatly enhances our understanding of the health status of Toronto neighbourhoods.

Thank you so much for a job well done!
The Ontario Community Health Profiles Partnership (OCHPP) team has been providing amazing experiential learning opportunities (practicum, course projects) for graduate students in the Master of Spatial Analysis program at Ryerson. The website has been actively utilized for my teaching and research, and by many students given its rich data and analytical depth.

The Ontario Community Health Profiles Partnership (OCHPP) team's spatial analytic expertise and deep understanding of local areas, was able to provide area-level specific data on easy to understand maps. This additional level of understanding of our Ontario Health Team (OHT) has been helpful in planning, thinking about where we might focus our efforts and in how partners come to the table to support those efforts. We hope to continue to work with OCHPP as we look beyond Year 1.

The Ontario Community Health Profiles Partnership (OCHPP) team has supported the training of Ryerson's Master of Spatial Analysis students for over 10 years. Through our practicum program, one or two students each year have had the enriching experience of working with OCHPP to put their newly learned skills into action. This has been an invaluable experience for our students and we look forward to continuing the collaboration.
