What is PLS?

PLS, Canada's Largest Primary and Frontline Healthcare Congress

PLS is Canada’s largest health event dedicated to primary and front-line care, and the sector’s leading event platform. Every year, it brings together, under one roof, those who decide, manage, treat, research and innovate: public and broader public sector, governments, community networks and industry, policymakers, managers, clinicians, researchers and businesses. By bringing these worlds together, PLS breaks down silos, fosters collaboration and accelerates healthcare innovation, serving as a catalyst for the entire ecosystem.

Its mission: to turn these meaningful encounters into concrete solutions that improve access to care and strengthen the quality of community-based health services. The flagship PLS event takes place every spring in Montréal, alongside a series of forums and thematic days throughout the year. The conversation continues year-round through the PLS white paper, the PLS Leaders podcast and newsletters, in French and English.
