Ontario Announces Plan to Boost Primary Care Access

The Ontario government has initiated a proposal process to create and expand up to 80 new primary care teams, with the aim of connecting an additional 300,000 residents to family doctors and primary care services within the year. This effort forms part of the plan to provide primary care access to all residents of Ontario by 2029.

The initiative includes a call for proposals that is expected to impact districts across the province, including the northeastern areas such as Timmins. It is designed to improve healthcare accessibility in both urban and rural communities.

The announcement was shared from Toronto, detailing the plan to enhance primary care services as stated by the government.
