Primary Care
Primary care is the front door to Canada's health system, and for millions of Canadians, that door remains hard to access
Primary care is the first point of contact for most Canadians and the foundation of prevention, chronic disease management, and care coordination. When primary care is accessible and continuous, it reduces pressure on hospitals, improves population health, and support more efficient use of health care resources.
