  Quality Improvement Plan
Ontario’s Action Plan for Health Care highlights a focus on quality in primary care. An essential element of Ontario’s health care transformation agenda is the introduction of Quality Improvement Plans (QIPs) in primary care. The principles of quality improvement in our health care system were first put forward in the Excellent Care For All Act, 2010. For more information please visit the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care site.

Our mission is to provide integrated and comprehensive community-based healthcare through collaboration among all family health team members by means of concentrating on health promotion and disease prevention.
