About Family Health Teams
Family Health Teams are a key piece of the provincial government's plan to build a health care system that promotes good health, reduces wait times and improves access to care. In Family Health Teams, family doctors work with other health care professionals such as nurse practitioners, nurses, mental health counselors, dietitians and pharmacists to see more patients and to keep them healthy.
