The Prince Edward Family Health Team, covering Prince Edward County
(Ontario) has launched its website, designed to inform and involve
the citizens of Prince Edward County in this collaborative effort to
improve access to medical care for the County's 24,000 residents.

In April of 2005 the Ontario government launched a program of urban
and rural Family Health Teams as a core component of a Provincial
health care initiative to provide better access to doctors and nurses
and reduce wait times for treatment.

The 150 local Family Health Teams across the Province are
collaborations involving individual local health care providers and
agencies. The teams are to improve access to primary care for more
than 2.5 million Ontarians in 112 communities. The teams include an
interdisciplinary team of physicians and other providers such as
nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and dieticians, with the
goals of working together to see more patients and to keep them
healthy.
