Canada Health Day, observed on May 12, aligns with the Catholic Church’s commitment to health, compassion, and care for the marginalized. Rooted in Catholic social teaching, which emphasizes the dignity of the human person, the Church supports efforts to ensure access to healthcare for all, especially the poor and vulnerable. The day promotes reflection on the importance of healthcare in Canadian society, encouraging Catholics to engage in acts of service and solidarity. It also aligns with the Church’s long history of healthcare ministry, from hospitals to outreach programs, advocating for the promotion of holistic well-being—body, mind, and spirit.
