What will you learn from the Series?

Ontario Health Teams require diverse providers across the continuum of care, as well as patients, clinicians, and communities, to come together to re-imagine how to address complex and systemic problems in our health system by working together differently. While there are many ways of achieving system level change, many of the key, necessary components are consistent. Community Health Ontario, a partnership comprised of Addictions and Mental Health Ontario, AdvantAge Ontario, Alliance for Healthier Communities, Canadian Mental Health Association (Ontario), Children’s Mental Health Ontario, and Ontario Community Support Association, has partnered with the Tamarack Institute to host this webinar series, designed to share concepts and tools that will build capacity to implement Ontario Health Teams that can evolve into trusted networks of health delivery.
