Ontario Connecting 300,000 More People to Primary Care

June 23, 2025

• Under the leadership of Premier Ford, our government is protecting Ontario’s health-care system and people’s access to convenient care by funding new and expanded primary care teams across the province, helping connect everyone in Ontario to a primary care provider.

• Over 130 primary care teams were selected through a recent call for proposals focused on communities—identified by postal code—with the highest number of residents not connected to primary care, including those on the Health Care Connect waitlist.

• This helps increase system capacity and reduces reliance on emergency services by meeting patients’ needs earlier and more effectively in the community.

• We are continuing to build on our government’s record investments, which have helped secure Ontario the highest rate of access to a regular health-care provider in the country.

• With Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, our government continues to take bold and decisive action to grow the province’s highly skilled health-care workforce and ensure people and their families have access to high-quality care closer to home for generations to come.
