Welcome to LangHealth

Advancing health equity research with a focus on language as a social determinant of health

Our Group

LangHealth is an open forum bringing together researchers, healthcare providers, healthcare program managers, and community organisations dedicated to improving the health and healthcare access of linguistic minority groups across Canada. We discuss recent developments in language and health research, share knowledge dissemination opportunities, and present ongoing and completed projects.

Presentations and discussions are held virtually in both French and English to reflect the group's bilingual nature.
