ABOUT US

Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) are being built across the province to provide a new way of delivering more connected care and facilitating access for individuals and their caregivers. OHTs will strive to improve the experience for those receiving and providing care.

The Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Ontario Health Team (FL&A-OHT) was designated by the Ministry of Health in November 2020. Learn about the geographical region our FL&A-OHT covers, our partners and how our journey evolved below.

The FL&A-OHT is working toward providing more efficient, integrated and equitable health care to the people of the FL&A region. The foundation of the OHT is based on the concept of "Health Homes & Neighbourhoods" since most care occurs in the home, by the person and their family and their caregivers.

During our first year we will focus on the higher risk groups outlined in our year-one projects. As the FL&A-OHT evolves, we will share developments with you. We also invite you to get involved and share your ideas. This FAQ provides more information.
