Public Health Ontario (PHO) is the new name for the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion (OAHPP). Effective June 14, 2011 the name and tag line, “Partners for health” reflect the agency’s role in protecting and promoting the health of all Ontarians and its philosophy of collaboration with partners to achieve shared goals.
The email addresses and the telephone numbers for the OAHPP will not change even though the operating name has; a gradual phasing-in of print and web materials will be done to avoid waste and ensure fiscal responsibility.
The website however has a new look and a more user-friendly layout. During the transition period, users can go to either www.oahpp.ca or towww.publichealthontario.ca for information.
