North York Family Health Team

Primary Care Teams are effective at keeping people healthy and ensuring their wellness. And we've got the data to prove it: - Higher screening rates to support prevention and monitoring. - Counselling that makes meaningful change in people's lives. - Access to care for those who need it, in a way that works for them. and so much more! A compassionate and caring interprofessional team of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, social workers, chiropodist, and physician assistant who work collaboratively to partner with patients on their journey to better health and wellness. Have a look at our results, we're glad to be able to measure the improvements our patients feel. And we look forward to serving more people in our community.

As we celebrate National Indigenous History Month it is a great opportunity to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples and to learn about their unique histories, cultures and ways of life.   At NYFHT, we celebrate diversity and are working towards creating a community where all people will be treated with respect, have their independence valued, and find greater access to integrated services. We are on a journey to better understand the needs of the populations we serve, and also take time this month to learn more about Indigenous Peoples.  

Every June, 2SLGBTQI+ communities and allies come together to spotlight the resilience, celebrate the talent, and recognize the contributions of 2SLGBTQI+ people. Although special attention is put on Pride events during the month of June, they happen throughout the year in many communities. NYFHT is proud to be a supporter of equity and aims to ensure 2SLGBTQI+ rights. We take time this month to acknowledge and celebrate this diversity and reflect on how to build a world where every person is treated fairly and has the opportunity to achieve their greatest potential.

February is Black History Month.
