Taddle Creek Family Health Team

Taddle Creek Family Health Team (FHT) is a group of primary care providers (family physicians/nurse practitioners) and interdisciplinary health care providers (including dietitians, social workers, pharmacist, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and physician assistant) working together to provide a broad range of health-care services that focus on health promotion, disease prevention and chronic disease management to approximately 25,000 patients in Toronto and surrounding area.

In the summer of 2006, the Taddle Creek Family Health Network (10 physicians) took the initiative to write a Business and Operational Plan to build a family health team. They believed working collaboratively within an interdisciplinary primary care model would address the most pressing needs of patients and physicians.

The Business and Operational Plan was approved by the ON MOHLTC and shortly thereafter Taddle Creek FHT was incorporated (Nov 2006). Within two years the Family Health Team was built, the interdisciplinary team hired and programs initiated.
