🌟Great News for our Team and our Area!🎉🥳
We are excited to announce that we have received new funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health that will allow us to attach 1,115 patients in the South Grenville area from the Health Care Connect waitlist and expand access to team-based primary care🥳.
We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity to welcome more patients to our primary care team and continue strengthening the care and services we provide to our community.
“This funding is a great opportunity to expand access to primary care and connect more patients with the care they need, closer to home.
We would like to sincerely thank MPP Steve Clark for being such a strong advocate and supporter of our community and for ensuring that our local voices are heard at the Ministry.
We are also incredibly grateful for all the support and assistance we have received from the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Ontario Health Team, and especially from its Lead, Morgan Hawn. Their guidance, collaboration, and ongoing support have been instrumental in helping us move this important work forward."
Dr. Dinny Mathew, Executive Director, Prescott Family Health Team
“On behalf of Prescott FHT, I would also like to thank our MPP Steve Clark and the Ministry of Health for this additional funding. This will allow us to connect new patients to our outstanding primary care team as well as improve the services we are providing to our existing patients. I would also like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of our Executive Director, Dr. Dinny Mathew, in advocating for our local community.”
Dr. Matthew Cooke, Lead Physician, Prescott Family Health Team
