Dear SDOH colleagues,

Over the past 25-30 years, Canadian health care has been criticized as 
overly institutional, financially unsustainable, socialistic, and 
inimical to the interests of the consumer. In Ontario, this period has 
been marked by transformation, restructuring, reallocation of funds and 
cuts to services not protected by the Canadian Health Act (e.g. homecare, 
physiotherapy, optometry, etc). What impact has this had on urban health?

Wellesley Central Health Corporation is committed to promoting the health 
of urban communities through rigorous community-based research. We are 
seeking proposals from health economists, social science researchers and 
community partners to address the impacts of this restructuring.

Specifically, they are seeking proposals that will:

a) Identify a basket of health services which have been cut since 1990.

b) Identify who has filled these gaps and how (e.g. privatized services, 
individual citizens, other social service agencies, etc).

c) Quantify the economic and social costs of cuts/redistribution in Toronto.

d) Work with a community advisory panel on creating economically viable 
policy alternatives.

e) Wellesley Central welcomes proposals for up to $35,000 to do this 
work.

Please submit a letter of intent (5 page maximum), outlining:

· strategies,
· methodologies,
· timeline,
· budget, and
· why you are well positioned to do this work.
