History
The Community Health Programs Branch was created in 1982 within the Ontario Ministry of Health. The branch assumed some of the functions of the former Community Health Division. It administered the Assistive Devices Program, the Home Care Program, and the Health Service Organization and Community Health Centre Program.
The Community Health Programs Branch reported directly to the Assistant Deputy Ministers responsible for Public and Mental Health and Community and Public Health respectively.
The branch ceased to exist in March, 1988 during a ministry restructuring. The Home Care Program and the Health Service Organizations and Health Centre Program were assumed by a newly created Community Health Branch, which formed part of a new Community Health Programs Division. Responsibility for the Assistive Devices Programs was assigned to the Assistive Devices Branch
