Kanata-Stittsville Primary Care Expansion Working Group Update: The working group held its first meeting on June 17th, bringing together 18 participants from primary care practices and partner organizations across Kanata-Stittsville. The discussion focused on lessons learned from previous primary care expansion proposals and opportunities to develop a coordinated, community-supported proposal in anticipation of the next provincial funding round, expected this fall. Further meetings will take place over the summer, with consideration being given to incorporate lived experience perspectives into the group’s work. The taskforce guidelines have been reshared for quick reference.
