Ontario Plans to Connect 300,000 Residents to Primary Care Services

The Ontario government has announced the launch of a call for proposals to create and expand up to 80 primary care teams within the province. This initiative aims to connect 300,000 additional residents to a family doctor and primary care teams this year.

This initiative is part of the government's broader effort to provide comprehensive access to primary care services for all Ontario residents by 2029. The proposals seek to address the growing demand for primary healthcare and improve access to medical services throughout Ontario.

While the specifics of how these new care teams will be structured or integrated into the existing healthcare system have not been fully detailed, the government's plans are focused on expanding reach and reducing wait times for medical services.

The details of these proposals and their implementation timeframe remain to be clarified as the Ontario government proceeds with this initiative.
