Why Join a Family Health Team?
A Family Health Team provides a team-based approach to primary care. Rather than relying primarily on episodic walk-in clinic visits, you can build an ongoing relationship with a family physician and a broader healthcare team that can support you over time.
Your physician can connect you with other members of the team when needed, helping you access specialized support for medication management, nutrition, mental health, chronic disease, foot care and navigating the healthcare system. Services may also be available across Humber River Family Health Team locations based on the service you need and appointment availability.
Our goal is simple: to help you receive the right care, from the right healthcare professional, at the right time.
