Increasing Access to Primary Care in our Local Community

From April 2024 to March 2025, we significantly expanded our health education groups & workshops, offering new and existing workshops to the broader Hamilton community free of charge, working with our Primary Care Network partners through funding from Ontario Health. We also provided patients who previously would not have access to team-based primary care with a suite of care options through TeamCare+.

From April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025:

2,755

patients provided with access to primary care, including:

1,183

participants in our public health education groups and workshops or community events

1,572

patients supported through TeamCare+, which has been rolled out to 7 unaffiliated physicians
