| Summary: | Archipel Ontario Health Team (OHT) developed as part of the provincial call to organize health and social service providers into integrated care delivery systems. With nearly 70 multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral partners, unequal power dynamics must be considered when creating governance structures. With the aim of collaboratively elevating the voice of voluntary and community sector partners, Archipel OHT deliberately implemented a sustainable integrated governance strategy that encourages community and voluntary sector leadership and equitable shared decision-making. This perspective paper describes applied strategies, lessons learned, and efforts to maintain an environment that prioritizes their representation. |
