Primary & Family Health Care
What is a family health team?
A Family Health Team is an approach to primary health care that brings together different health care providers to coordinate your care. Our Family Health Team consists of doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, dietitians, and other health care professionals who work collaboratively, each using their experience and skills to provide care.
We focus on providing care for the Mid-East Toronto neighbourhood, people experiencing homelessness and under-housed people, the 2SLGBTQ community and newcomers to Canada. Our Family Health Team offers a variety of health programs and services, ranging from advice and guidance on living healthier to avoid illness, to foot care, overdose prevention and managing a chronic disease.
Please note that Sherbourne Health is not a walk-in clinic. You must be a registered client to receive medical services.
