About our Ontario Health Team
Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) are being built across the province to provide a new way of delivering more connected care and facilitating access to care for individuals and their caregivers.
The Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Ontario Health Team (FLA OHT) is committed to developing a team-based health-care system that prioritizes mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and social health and wellness to meet our community’s needs.
