Ontario Connecting 500,000 More People to a Family Doctor and Primary Care Team

September 22, 2025

The government has launched the next call for proposals to create and expand approximately 75 primary care teams that will connect 500,000 more people to a primary care clinician. This over $250 million investment is part of the government’s $2.1 billion Primary Care Action Plan and brings the province one step closer to connecting everyone in Ontario to convenient primary care by 2029.

Communities across Ontario are eligible to apply for funding for this next call for proposals. The new and expanded teams will prioritize attaching individuals in their communities to care, including those on the Health Care Connect waitlist, which has already decreased by more than 98,000 people or over 42 per cent since January 1, 2025.
