The Networking and Partnership Initiative (NPI)
The NPI is a program designed to support Quebec’s minority English-speaking communities in improving and maintaining access to the full range of Health and Social Services. The program supports the capacity of Quebec’s English-speaking communities to ensure their vitality through cooperation and partnership with the health and social services system. To achieve this, the program currently funds the development of 20 community health and social service networks (NPIs). Funding for this program is provided by Health Canada and the project is managed by CHSSN.
