The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care announced that it would no longer provide regular infrastructure support to research centres across Ontario, including CRICH. Over the next few years, under Dr. Hwang’s leadership (see below) and with the support of St. Michael’s Foundation and its very committed donors, the centre’s operations successfully transitioned to a philanthropic funding model. With the campaign came a new name for the centre: the Centre for Urban Health Solutions (CUHS).
