People-Centred Health Homes

People-Centred Health Homes are our home base for easy access to all the health care and wellness services we need to achieve our best health.  The Health Home is our front door to the health-care system. It includes a team dedicated to supporting our best health and wellness through every stage of our lives.

Care Close to Home

The FLA OHT and partners continue to establish care close to home with the upcoming expansion of 3 Health Homes for people who do not have a primary care provider. Learn more below about the Greater Napanee, CDK Kingston and East End Health Homes.

Health Home Teams

The Health Home team might be a physical primary care practice, a virtual service or a mobile health-care team that comes to us – whatever works best for each of us. The Health Home team includes:

  • People empowered to be partners in their own care, equipped with the knowledge, resources and tools to support their health and wellbeing 
  • Primary care doctors, nurse practitioners and/or traditional healers to support health-care needs and connect people to other health and wellness providers as needed

  • Mental health workers to support mental, emotional and spiritual health
  • Home and community care coordinators to provide easy access to community health and social services from people’s homes
