Our Population
Our OHT helps over 414,000 people in Northwestern Toronto through our partner organizations. Our population is made up of people that live in areas of the North York, Etobicoke, and York regions of Toronto.
Key Characteristics:
1. Diverse Demographics: We serve a community of over 414,000 people from many different ethnic backgrounds and languages.
2. Age Distribution: Our community includes young families and seniors. This diversity in age groups means that healthcare services need to cater to a wide range of needs, from pediatric care to geriatric services.
3. Economic Diversity: We have both wealthy neighborhoods and areas facing economic challenges. This economic diversity requires a range of healthcare services to address different social determinants of health.
4. Health Needs: We focus on important health issues like chronic diseases, mental health, and addiction services to improve overall health.
5. Community Engagement: The NWT OHT actively involves community members in its initiatives to make sure our services meet the needs and preferences of the population it serves.
Overall, the population in the North Western Toronto Ontario Health Team area is diverse and unique, requiring a coordinated and inclusive approach to healthcare.
