Become a Partner
CKOHT Membership Application Process
CKOHT membership expansion takes place through an open process for additional partnership members. For CKOHT, a key component to our maturity efforts is growth and partnership expansion. Membership applications are reviewed annually in January. New members are welcomed in the Spring and onboarded in the Summer.
New member applications are due January 30th, 2026.
CKOHT is looking for new partner organizations who are in alignment with our new 2025-2030 Strategic Plan which can be found HERE.
If your organization is in direct alignment and has shared goals with the CKOHT’s 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, you are encouraged to fill out a signatory partner application. If your organization provides health or social services to the Chatham-Kent area, but are not in direct alignment with CKOHT’s 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, or you are not very familiar with CKOHT partnership, you are encouraged to fill out an Affiliate member application as a first step with our partnership.
Expression of interest forms must be completed and submitted to info@ckoht.ca.
Please note that existing CKOHT Signatory Members do not need to apply. This is for new members only.
