Reimagining our Health System
The Ontario Health Team (OHT) concept is a change in direction from previous ways of organizing the health system in Ontario.
Instead of a system built “from the top down,” OHTs promise a system built “from the ground up” with community-based health care providers, primary care, and clients as the foundation.
At this stage, participation in an OHT is voluntary.
Hundreds of health and social service providers have already joined forces across the province to create their own teams, designed by and for their specific communities.
That means each Ontario Health Team can evolve and anticipate to best meet the needs of the people it serves, whether cultural, ethnic, geographic, or economic.
