Family Health Teams
I’ve been thrilled with this system being implemented in our area.
Family Health Teams are a new way of providing health care to you and your family in Ontario. They bring together family doctors and other health care providers in order to coordinate the best possible care for patients. Everyone on the team works together to meet your needs. Their focus is on keeping you and your family healthy, not just treating you when you are sick.
A Family Health Team combines the expertise and services of different health care providers to meet many kinds of needs. In addition to family doctors, the Networked Family Health Teams in Peterborough include nurse practitioners, dietitians, mental health clinicians, registered nurses, medical secretaries and consulting pharmacists.
