The Timiskaming Ontario Health Team (TOHT) is a collaborative network of health and social service partners dedicated to delivering integrated, patient-centred care in the Timiskaming region. The Great Northern Family Health Team is a proud core partner of the TOHT.
Established in July 2023, the TOHT brings together hospitals, primary care providers, home and community care services, mental health and addictions supports, long-term care homes, and social service organizations to ensure seamless access to high-quality, coordinated care.
As an Ontario Health Team (OHT), we work to break down silos in the healthcare system, making it easier for individuals and families to navigate their health journey. Our mission is to ensure that people receive the right care, from the right team, in the right setting—when they need it. Through collaboration and person-focused care, we strive to improve health outcomes, reduce barriers, and enhance the patient experience.

About Us
The Great Northern Family Health Team (GNFHT) is an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals dedicated to providing accessible, comprehensive, patient-centred, team-based primary care to the communities we serve.
Our team works together to support health promotion, disease prevention, preventive care, and chronic disease management, with a focus on providing care that responds to the needs of our patients and community. We are continually looking for new and better ways to deliver care, support our team members, strengthen partnerships, and improve health outcomes across our communities.
The GNFHT is co-located with our affiliated physician group, the Great Northern Family Health Network (FHN), which currently includes eight physicians. Together, physicians and interprofessional healthcare providers work collaboratively to support coordinated, high-quality primary care.
The Great Northern Family Health Team is funded by Ontario Health. This funding supports the delivery of comprehensive, team-based primary care and enables collaboration among physicians, nurse practitioners, and interprofessional healthcare providers to improve access, coordination, and quality of care for the communities we serve.
