    History

    Population Health and Community Services was established in 1992 as a result of a shift in resources towards community health services in the Ontario government. A jointly-run program between the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Community and Social Services, one of the first efforts within this new environment was to arrive at better long-term solutions for the care of the elderly. It assumed the responsibilities of the Community Health and Support Services Division.

    The Assistant Deputy Minister of the Program was responsible for the Assistive Devices Branch and Emergency Health Services Branch, as well as the Community Health Division, Long-Term Care Division and their respective branches.

    In 1998, it was replaced by the Institutional Health and Community Services Group.
