Initiatives

Primary Health Care Services of Peterborough are working in partnership with our physicians, allied health professionals, specialists, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Central East LHIN, and community groups to identify areas of need in the community and develop initiatives and programs that best service them.  Since the Peterborough Networked Family Health Teams were established in 2005, we’ve started the following initiatives to improve the quality of your care and the effectiveness of our local health system:

• Youth Sports Concussion Program
• Healthy Families: increasing the awareness of the importance of proper nutrition and daily physical activity for children and their families
• Anticoagulation Monitoring: improving the safety, quality, and convenience of monitoring for patients on blood-thinning medication
• Mental Health
• Partners in Pregnancy Clinic: a family-centred care team for pregnant women and newborns up to six weeks of age
• Early Identification and Management of Depression: increasing access to mental health services and providing consistent, evidence-based detection and treatment

It is the continued mission of PHCS and the Peterborough Networked Family Health Teams to lead the development of an integrated health care system that meets community needs and provides a seamless experience of care for our patients.
