The Family Health Team Approach
In our family medical practice, we believe in a team approach. Depending on what you need, we offer access to two specially trained Registered Nurses, two Pharmacists, a Dietitian, and a Mental Health Counselor, as well as to Dr. Arthur as your Family Physician.
When You Visit
- Bring your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) Card so that we have your up-to-date contact information.
- Please bring a recent list of all of your medications, including the dosage and package directions – or better yet – bring the medications themselves.
- Please decide in advance which one or two health questions are most urgent, so that they can be dealt with first. Our aim is to accomplish as much as possible during the time scheduled for your visit.
Specially Trained Health Professionals
A Family Health Team brings together a spectrum of health professionals, each of whom has specialized training. This allows you to obtain help from a team member who has specific training to meet your needs.
The family health team approach ensures more personalized and effective healthcare than the practice physician could hope to provide on his own.
