FAQ

Family Health Teams provide Interprofessional Health Providers (IHPs) services by working with family physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and a range of other health care professionals. They develop community-based programs that emphasize health promotion, illness prevention and early detection/diagnosis. We connect you to other parts of the health care system such as acute care, long-term care, public health, mental health, addictions and community programs and services.
