CarePoint Health was proud to welcome the Honourable Minister Natalia Kusendova-Bashta, MPP, and Sheref Sabawy, MPP, alongside key partners and guests, to celebrate a milestone investment in team-based primary care in Mississauga. This visit highlighted the Ontario government’s $1.2 million commitment through Mississauga Health Ontario Health Team (OHT), aimed at expanding integrated, accessible, and collaborative care for all local residents.
This transformative funding has supported interprofessional primary care teams, benefiting up to 3,400 residents and enabling 800 rostered patients to access enhanced services. The investment also includes the expansion of nurse practitioner-led care and increased collaboration with local health partners like Trillium Health Partners and Partners Community Health.
Special thanks were extended to Dr. Sohal Goyal and Heather Relf, who passionately emphasized the critical role that primary care providers play in improving patient outcomes and community wellness. Their insights helped bring to life the positive impact of this initiative for both health professionals and patients alike.
