Everyday Ontarians should not be lining up for hours, desperate for a family doctor. With an election in Ontario, the OCFP is advocating for all Ontarians to have access to a family doctor. We can change this by investing in support for family doctors.

"Family doctors find joy in their work, when they’re not burdened by the system or having administrative hurdles that hold them up or devalue the work that they do. The OCFP has solutions and people who are willing to help. We want to get to the point where every Ontarian has access to a family physician,” -@Drjvmd, OCFP President.

Family doctors are leaders in their communities, with many in the North providing care in ERs as well as their own clinics. They need more support to continue caring for patients across the health system, ensuring that patients can access the right care at the right time.
