What is a family health team?
A family health team is a group of doctors and allied health professionals who work together to provide comprehensive medical care.
As a rostered patient of this family health team, you have access not only to your family doctor, but to a nurse, dietitian, pharmacist, chiropractor and social worker. If you'd like a referral, please contact us.
