More patients connected to care in Perth-Andover area
The Perth-Andover Family Health Team in Southern Victoria has made significant progress in addressing the area’s primary care needs in just a few months. Since launching in November 2025, about 500 patients have been attached to the team, which now serves approximately 11,000 people. The team continues to onboard individuals from the provincial registry in Perth-Andover and surrounding communities and expects to roster all remaining patients within 12 to 18 months. Horizon received $1.6 million in provincial funding to support the team, which aims to strengthen long-term access to primary care, support physicians nearing retirement, and introduce new allied health services.
Carleton North Family Health Team marks 1 year
The Carleton North Family Health Team has been supporting patients for more than a year since its launch in May 2025.
With provincial funding, the former Carleton North Medical Clinic was transformed into a collaborative care team, including space upgrades and new health care professionals. This has allowed the team to connect 250 previously unattached patients with a primary care provider. Several new team members have since joined, including a respiratory therapist and a social worker, with recruitment ongoing for more primary care providers and allied health professionals. Once in place, the team can continue toward its goal of onboarding another 800 unattached patients by the end of 2026.
