Call for abstracts – AFHTO’s The Power of Primary Care

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS NOW OPEN

This is more than a showcase. It’s a design session for the future.

Ontario’s primary care system is under a spotlight — and finally, under serious consideration. Investments are coming. Expectations are rising. And the window to shape what's next is wide open.

The Power of Primary Care is where leaders, providers, and partners come together not just to share what’s working — but to actively shape what should come next. This year’s conference isn’t about passive learning. It’s about bold conversation, cross-sector collaboration, and co-designing the primary care system we need for the future.

We’re looking for abstracts that spark insight, challenge assumptions, and generate new thinking — not just what you’ve done, but what it means for the future.

Whether you're rethinking care models, building new partnerships, designing innovative roles, or transforming team culture, your work should help answer a critical question:

“What does the next era of primary care need to look like — and how do we build it together?”
