$14 million investment brings the province one step closer to connecting everyone in Toronto to primary care
The Ontario government is investing over $14 million to connect up to 49,000 people to primary care teams in Toronto. This is part of Ontario’s $110 million investment to connect up to 328,000 people to primary care providers, bringing the province one step closer to connecting everyone in Ontario to primary care.
“Our government is making record investments to ensure everyone who wants to have a primary care provider can connect to one,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “While there is more work to do, giving tens of thousands of more people across Toronto the opportunity to connect to primary care brings us that much closer to this goal.”
Ontario leads the country with 90 per cent of people connected to a regular health care provider. As a next step to close the gap for those not connected to primary care in Toronto, the province is supporting 11 new and expanded interprofessional primary care teams. Together, these initiatives will connect up to 49,000 Ontarians with primary care teams and provide services.
