Welcome to saho.ca, the new online home for the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations.


April 17, 2012 was a big day in our history as SAHO’s Board of Directors approved bylaws that newly define our mandate and mission. With the formal birth of 3sHealth, Saskatchewan’s health care shared services agency, SAHO now focuses its energies and resources on labour relations – working on behalf of health care employers to negotiate and interpret collective bargaining agreements with the unionized workforce.

Through a philosophy of positive and constructive employee relations, we work with employers toward a health system in which employers and employees put patients and families first, centering their policies and priorities on high-quality, cost-effective, world-class health care.
