Primary Care Expansion in Couchiching
Under the leadership of Dr. Jane Philpott, Ontario’s Primary Care Action Team is driving a bold and transformative plan to ensure that every person in the province has access to the right care, in the right place, at the right time. With historic investments totaling over $1.8 billion, this initiative aims to connect two million more Ontarians to a family doctor or primary care team by 2029.
Locally, the Couchiching OHT is proud to be part of this province-wide effort. By expanding and strengthening team-based care – bringing together family physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, dietitians, and other health professionals – we are working to ensure that everyone in our community has timely access to comprehensive, coordinated, and convenient care.
This plan prioritizes communities with the greatest need and supports innovative, community-driven solutions to close the gap in primary care access. Together, we are building a system that is comprehensive, connected, and person-centered, ensuring better health outcomes for all.
