Newcomers arrive in Canada healthy. Within 5 years their health declines.

About

The goal of the TOgether Healthier campaign is to raise awareness of Newcomer Health and Health Equity issues for the City of Toronto, promoting the philosophy that health is not only an issue of the individual but affects all members of this city.  Healthy individuals means a healthy city.

Newcomer Health

Newcomers face more barriers to health services than longer-term immigrants and significantly less access than Canadian-born residents.  The key barriers to access can be addressed by developing policies and programs through a newcomer lens.
