What is an Ontario Health Team (OHT)?

Ontario Health Teams are a new way of organizing and delivering care that is more connected to patients in their local communities. There are 58 Ontario Health Teams across the province providing full provincial coverage and ensuring that every person in Ontario can have the support of an Ontario Health Team. The goal is to ensure that everyone in Ontario can benefit from better coordinated, more integrated care.

Under Ontario Health Teams, health care providers (including hospitals, doctors, and home and community care providers) work as one coordinated team – no matter where they provide care.
