... The small # of other names were cleared because they were duplicates, out-of-province or other reasons. The team is reaching out to everyone on the list and we are on track to clear the Jan 1 list by next spring. We're building a sustainable primary care system for Ontario.❤️

Behind the scenes, it took a lot of people working hard for months to hit this milestone. Of the 235,000 whose names were on HealthCareConnect on Jan 1, we've reduced the list by 50%🥳, with over 85% of those people being attached to ongoing primary care.

ICYMI. Calling all family doctors, NPs, teams. Here's your opportunity of funding interprofessional primary care teams to build a primary care system for Ontario where everyone has a primary care home. OHTs & PCNs helping organize by geography. We can do this! #primarycarematters
This over $250 million investment is part of the government’s $2.1 billion Primary Care Action Plan and brings the province one step closer to connecting everyone in Ontario to convenient primary care by 2029. https://t.co/wQsUNZfwTY

Ontario made a commitment that everyone on the HealthCareConnect waitlist as of 1/1/25 would be attached to ongoing primary care by next spring. Thnx to all the family docs, NPs, & teams who have offered a primary care home. It's a huge team effort👏, great progress, more to do.
Ontario has made progress on connecting everyone on the Health Care Connect waitlist to primary care by spring 2026. The waitlist (as of January 1, 2025) has decreased by over 98,000 people, or 42% - reflecting Ontario’s continued work to connect everyone to primary care.
