L’Équipe Santé Ontario Sudbury Espanola Manitoulin Elliot Lake est heureuse d’offrir des cafés-causeries portant sur l’expérience des personnes vivant avec la démence, ainsi que de celles qui soutiennent ou prennent soin d’une personne vivant avec la démence, et sur la façon dont elles naviguent les services et les ressources dans la région du Grand Sudbury.

Happy National Physicians’ Day 💙🩺

This week has been one of those “this is why we do this” kind of weeks.

We’ve been out meeting with new physicians joining our Primary Care Network, sitting down, hearing about their practices, what’s working, what’s not, and where we can actually help. And every conversation has been such a strong reminder of just how much physicians are carrying right now… and how much they continue to show up anyway.

Building our PCN isn’t just about growing numbers, it’s about real relationships, trust, and creating something that actually supports physicians in delivering care the way they want to.

To all physicians: thank you. For your dedication, your resilience, and the impact you have on your patients and communities every single day.

We see it. We appreciate it. And we’re really proud to be building alongside you 🤍

Great conversations at the Seniors Information & Active Living Fair!

Members of the SEMEL Ontario Health Team (Sudbury, Espanola, Manitoulin, and Elliott Lake) were happy to attend the Seniors Information & Active Living Fair on Friday, March 6 at Parkside in Sudbury.

Our team hosted a booth where we spoke with many community members about accessing primary care and helped ensure people knew how to register for Healthcare Connect if they do not currently have a family doctor or nurse practitioner.

We were also grateful for the opportunity to present at the event and share more about the work happening across the Ontario Health Team, including:
• Patient attachment initiatives
• The importance of Healthcare Connect
• Our COPD project
• Future work on CHF and dementia care pathways
• Our Persons with Lived Experience Council
• How we work together as an Ontario Health Team

We also met several community members who were interested in becoming involved with our Persons with Lived Experience Council, helping ensure patient voices are part of shaping the healthcare system.

Thank you to the organizers and everyone who stopped by to chat with us!

A great evening connecting with primary care partners in Sudbury!

On Monday, March 2, the SEMEL Ontario Health Team (Sudbury, Espanola, Manitoulin, and Elliott Lake) hosted a Primary Care Network (PCN) event at Natura in Sudbury, bringing together providers and partners from across the region.

One of the highlights of the evening was hearing from local providers who received Ontario Health Team funding, who shared how they have used that support to help attach more patients to primary care.
We also reviewed the SEMEL Ontario Health Team’s digital health roadmap and plans to move this work forward over the next year.

In addition, a guest speaker joined us to discuss central intake, including the progress being made and the next steps for advancing this work across the region.
It was a terrific evening of conversation, collaboration, and shared learning. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the discussion.
