Volunteers Needed to Understand the Challenges Accessing Primary Care

Community members who do not have a family doctor or nurse practitioner and live in the Frontenac, Lennox and Addington region are invited to take part in a research study about their experience seeking primary care.

Understanding and improving access to primary care

To better understand and improve access to primary care we engaged 16 participants with an age range of 25-84. Through all of the feedback, themes emerged which allow us to identify necessary needed changes to enable more equitable and inclusive access to primary care.

Land acknowledgement

With deep respect and humility, we acknowledge that the FLA OHT is located on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat Nations, as well as the territories of other rural and urban Indigenous community members including Métis, Inuit, and other First Peoples from across the Turtle Island.

...

We stand upon land that carries the footsteps of Peoples of Indigenous ancestry who have been here for thousands of years. We have an opportunity to learn from each other, improve relationships and promote respect for the past, present and future. We are thankful to share, learn, work, play and grow on these lands as we work together to build a new health-care system that will be inclusive and equal for all.
