The mission of the Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Ontario Health Team (FLA OHT) is to have a People-Centred Health Home for everyone in Frontenac, Lennox and Addington counties, where they have access to a primary care provider and team-based care.
Our Minister of Health and local health care leaders speak about the FLA OHT model of care.

What is a Health Home?
A home base for easy access to all the health care and wellness services needed to achieve our best health. It is the front door to the health-care system, including a team of health-care professionals dedicated to supporting someone’s best health and wellness through every stage of their lives.
How will everyone find care close to home?
The FLA OHT and partners are working to connect people who do not currently have a primary care provider to a Health Home by focusing on rostering people within specific geographic areas, one area at a time as provider capacity allows.
This work of the FLA OHT has been recognized by Dr. Jane Philpott, who was recently appointed to lead the provincial Primary Care Action Team.
Need a primary care provider?
If you do not have a family doctor or nurse practitioner, please register with Health Care Connect to get connected to a Health Home.

Where are Health Homes and who is involved?
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 the community it serves. Health Home teams can include any of the following:
- 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
- Nurses and allied health professionals to support preventive care and managing chronic disease
- 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
- Community social support workers to connect us with the resources we need in our community including housing, food-sharing programs and other community supports
- Connections to the broader community of service providers and social supports we may need to achieve our best health
