The shortage of family doctors across the province is one of the most critical issues facing patients. Primary care is the foundation of Ontario’s health-care system and we need to work together so all patients can get timely access to the care they need. #ONhealth
Better care means team based care... everyone needs access to a family physicians and those patients and their family physicians need to be supported by teammates like nurses, social workers, pharmacists.
Thanks @theagenda for covering this with @docdanielle.

We need transformational change to ensure every Ontarian has a family doctor. We have solutions:👇
✔️create teams to support family docs
✔️less admin work=more time with patients
✔️recruit & retain

the calculus of structural discrimination:
90% of Covid cases are happening in 10% of neighbourhoods with 80% of all cases in racialized/low-income neighbourhoods that continue to have poorer access to vaccines than affluent neighbourhoods.
It truly takes a team to provide high-quality health care! The unified voice and collaborative work of this #PrimaryCare partnership represent a step forward in building more comprehensive, coordinated and equitable health care for all Ontarians.
Appreciated the opportunity to talk with @moadam_ of @OttawaCitizen about #AllHandsOnDeck & the role for Family Docs & primary care teams in vaccine rollout.

Family doctors could move 2.3-million more Ontarians to get the COVID-19 vaccine if more involved in vax efforts, with patient trust and the ability to reach vulnerable patients being key to vaccination plan success, an OCFP study has found. More results: https://t.co/mWpIxIzMrO
