The Guelph Wellington ONtario Health Team
What is an Ontario Health Team (OHT)?
In 2019 the Government of Ontario introduced a new model for health care called the Ontario Health Team. OHTs are a new way of organizing and delivering health care services that aim to create a more connected and cohesive experience for patients, families and caregivers. The goal of the Ontario Health Team is to make the system easier to navigate and easier to access by strengthening local services, improving after hours services and community supports.
In June, 2021, the Guelph Ontario Health Team was expanded to include partners from Rural Wellington and renamed the Guelph Wellington OHT.

Dr. Phil Deacon represents the MMFHT as the OHT Representative.
