Family Health Teams Contract Locations Coordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract: This data set provides address locations of Family Health Teams, as provided by the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario (AFHTO). There may be multiple sites (locations) associated with a family health team. Family Health Teams ensure that people receive the care they need in their communities, as each team is set-up based on local health and community needs. Family Health Teams provide a core set of comprehensive primary health care services to their patients. Patients can be enrolled either to an individual family physician or to groups of physicians. They focus on chronic disease management, disease prevention and health promotion, and work with other health care organizations, such as public health units and Community Care Access Centres.

  Process step:

  All geographic locations were geocoded by postal codes or street addresses, as supplied. The geocoding process used the Statistics Canadas Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF) and the Ontario Road Network (ORN) data. Some locations were approximate to the physical locations due to the fact that the postal codes or street addresses could not be matched to the PCCF or ORN. This data was collected from best and available sources at the time of development, and may become outdated over time. This data may not contain all health service provider locations. MOHLTC continues to improve and enhance the dataset on an ongoing basis.
