The Barrie and Community FHT supports children with complex needs through coordinated care from nurses, social workers, pediatricians, and therapists. Shared leadership and regular huddles ensure integrated, family-centered support. 

Our School Success Program (SSP) exemplifies interprofessional collaboration, with health care providers and school teams working together to deliver holistic care. Regular huddles and shared leadership ensure seamless coordination and responsiveness to student needs. As well, the program is deeply embedded in the community, with strong partnerships across schools and families. Feedback from educators and parents highlight SSP’s role in transforming student outcomes and supporting entire family units holistically. 

SSP’s delivery of care within school hours is a key innovation, reducing barriers to access and minimizing disruption to education. This approach is a scalable model for integrated pediatric care that can be replicated regionally and provincially to address service gaps. 
The program has measurably improved student success, family well-being, and provider satisfaction.
