National AccessAbility Week is an opportunity to recognize the importance of creating communities, services, and systems that are accessible and inclusive for everyone.

One local example comes from a patient who used online appointment booking through a participating Oxford OHT primary care clinic:

"As someone who has difficulty hearing clearly over the phone, online booking made a big difference. I did not have to worry about misunderstanding available appointment times, or asking someone to repeat themselves. I could read the options and choose an appointment that worked for me."

This experience highlights how small changes can make a meaningful difference for persons with disabilities. By offering different ways to access care, we can help reduce barriers and make it easier for people to connect with the services they need.

Recovery looks different for everyone.

That's why the Oxford County HART Hub network of care also includes group therapy programs designed to support individuals at different stages of their recovery journey.

These groups are open to adults 18+ seeking mental health and substance use support. Some participants may be transitioning from the Wellness Centre after completing the 90-day bedded supportive treatment (BST) program, while others join directly from the community.

Through shared experiences, meaningful connections, and practical coping strategies, participants can build skills that support recovery and resilience.

Call 519-537-2382 any time to learn more or get connected with a program that might be right for you.
