All Teach, All Learn
Bridging the Knowledge Gap in Home and Community Care
Through CHCA Project ECHO, we envision a future where all patients receive high-quality care, no matter where they live. Our innovative learning approach strengthens provider competencies by building essential skills, knowledge, and attitudes through education, best practices, and collaborative networks. Our goal is to improve care quality, strengthen clinical practice, support confidence and collaboration, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for patients and their families.
Home Care Project ECHO delivers practical solutions
We are closing the knowledge gap in home care, primary care, and community-based services by providing easy access to expertise, experience, and evidence-based practices. Through Project ECHO, we:
- Offer accessible education that overcomes geographic, financial, and time barriers.
- Foster communication and collaboration among multidisciplinary care providers.
- Promote continuous learning through evolving clinical practices and practical tools.

Each ECHO Stream addresses priority areas in home care, primary care, and community-based services. Modelled after the global Project ECHO movement, we connect you with specialists, experts, leading practices and practical tools. Here’s what you can expect:
