A Family Health Team

Family doctors and allied specialists, working together.

Family Health Teams are groups of family physicians who work together with other allied health care providers to co-ordinate the highest possible quality of care for our patients.

Our team includes specialist physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, mental health workers, pharmacists, health educators, a dietitian and other health care professionals — all collaborating so your family doctor has every resource needed to look after you.

“We aim to provide high quality, timely healthcare to our patients.”
