Sault Ste. Marie – Ontario is improving access to primary care for Sault Ste. Marie families by helping to recruit and retain more non-physician primary health care professionals, including nurse practitioners, social workers and registered dietitians. David Orazietti MPP made the announcement today at the Algoma Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic’s 5th anniversary celebration event.
“Our government is continuing to deliver improvements to front-line health care by providing greater access to primary care locally,” said Orazietti. “This investment will help community health organizations in Sault Ste. Marie attract and retain skilled health care professionals.”
The province is supporting four primary care organizations in Sault Ste. Marie, such as community health centres, nurse practitioner-led clinics, family health teams, Aboriginal Health Access Centres and nursing stations that serve nearly four million people in Ontario. This funding will allow organizations to better attract and retain non-physician health care professionals to serve more Ontario families, including in high-needs and remote communities.
