About Us
Working Together to Build Healthier Communities
Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) organize and deliver care that is more connected to people and providers in their communities. OHTs aim to strengthen services locally and to make it easier for patients to get the care they need, when and where they need it. There are 58 OHTs across the province with the goal to ensure that everyone in Ontario can benefit from better coordinated, more integrated care.
