This is session two in our 5-part series: The Future of Primary Care in BC.
Session 2: Learning from Ontario’s success: creating a thriving not-for-profit primary care sector shares Ontario as a case study for building a more robust not-for-profit primary care sector.
We explore how Community Health Centres have functioned as local hubs that combine medical care with prevention-oriented and community-based social supports, designed to close service gaps by offering multiple services in one place.
We also examine the role of system-level infrastructure and funding approaches that are increasing the opportunities for not-for-profit primary care organizations to play a leadership role in coordinating and integrating primary and social care services in their local community.
