Throughout the AFHTO 2015 conference, we’ll explore the many ways in which team-based primary care is the foundation of a sustainable health system and the diverse approaches teams are taking to strengthen that foundation. All this work takes place within a larger system so to wrap it up we ask - what’s the government’s vision and direction for primary care in Ontario? And how exactly do we move forward from its current state? Our closing plenary panel discusses this and takes your questions about how best to deliver high-quality, team-based care to all Ontarians who would best benefit from it, what factors affect our ability to deliver such care, and how we can do it in a way that achieves the best value.
Our panel of experts includes:
- Dr. Bob Bell, Deputy Minister of Health and Long-Term Care
- Dr. Sean Blaine, incoming AFHTO President; Lead Physician, STAR FHT (Stratford)
- Mr. Paul Huras, CEO, South East LHIN
- Ms. Kavita Mehta, Executive Director, South East Toronto FHT; past president of AFHTO
- Dr. Cathy Faulds, OCFP President; Lead Physician, London FHT
Given the challenges and opportunities currently facing the health system, this promises to be a spirited and fruitful discussion. Don’t miss out on your chance to be a part of this conversation!
