We are volunteer-led, guided by a board of 10 volunteers and multiple committees targeting various areas of clinical practice.

Engage with Us!
We strive to represent your needs and want to engage with you!
A lot happens behind the scenes that members don't always see — committee meetings, planning discussions, advocacy work, and decisions that directly shape the support and resources available to you. Until you've sat in on a meeting or lent a hand, it's hard to fully grasp everything that goes into serving you and the profession.
Not sure what we actually do to support your career? The best way to find out is to see it firsthand. Reach out, sit in on a committee meeting, or volunteer for a project — we'd love to have you, and you might be surprised by how much is happening on your behalf.
Refreshed: We're thrilled to announce an exciting update to the WSLHA experience! Our refreshed platform features a redesigned website, a more comprehensive member directory, and a brand-new learning portal — all built with our members in mind. We invite you to explore everything the new platform has to offer.
