AFHTO is excited to present our 2024-2027 strategic plan. AFHTO’s strategic plan was developed at a time of significant change, both within our organization and across our broader healthcare system.
Ontario’s primary care sector is at a critical juncture. The healthcare system is continuing to undergo significant transformation, creating both instability as well as opportunity. Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) are establishing a new way of organizing and integrating local care delivery, with an increasing focus on connecting with primary care to advance population health through integrated and equitable approaches.
Thanks to ongoing advocacy efforts of AFHTO and our partners in primary care, we are seeing increased recognition that team-based primary care is critical to the future of healthcare in the province. As we look to the next three years, there is a clear opportunity and need for primary care and team-based primary care to be at the centre of our healthcare system, now and in the future. We are excited to work with our members and partners to put our strategic plan into action.
Our Purpose:
To empower primary care teams to be at the centre of a connected, comprehensive and effective healthcare system.
Our Vision:
Equitable access to excellent team-based primary care for every person in Ontario.

Our North Star: Creating a future-focused primary care system together
"Our North Star: Creating a Future-Focused Primary Care System Together" (October 2025) outlines AFHTO’s vision and strategy for strengthening Ontario’s primary care sector. The report highlights the vital role of Primary Care Teams in delivering comprehensive, coordinated, and equitable care to 25% of Ontarians, including marginalized communities. It details current challenges—such as workforce shortages, funding gaps, and system inefficiencies—and presents AFHTO’s commitments to improve care access, digital integration, governance, and collaboration. The report calls for strong partnerships with government to achieve universal attachment to primary care by 2029, improve health outcomes, and build a sustainable, high-performing system for all Ontarians.
