Working together for better health care
Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) are new ways of organizing and delivering care that are more connected to people and providers in their communities. OHTs aim to strengthen services locally and to make it easier for patients to get the care they need, when and where they need it. There are 58 OHTs across the province with the goal to ensure that everyone in Ontario can benefit from better coordinated, more integrated care.

Our Priorities
Helping People Connect to Care
We want to make it easier for people to find the care and support they need. This includes creating better ways to help those without a primary care provider and focusing on people with mental health, addiction, and long-term health needs. |
Supporting Primary Care
Primary care is very important. We are working to improve how people access both primary and specialist care. We’re also finding ways to reduce paperwork so healthcare providers can focus more on patients. Our goal is to make sure everyone has access to team-based care. |
Building Healthier Communities
We will work together with our communities and health experts to make improvements that are based on the needs of our communities. We will work together to ensure people know about the services in their communities and offer tools to stay healthy, prevent illness, and improve access. |
