2020 Conference Themes
Tectonic shifts: rebuilding primary care in a new world
Got a bold idea? Submit your “Wild Card” abstract for AFHTO’s 2025 Conference by June 16!
Wild cards welcome to AFHTO 2025 Power of Primary Care Conference
Every year we receive brilliant abstracts that defy categorization, and we welcome them. That’s why we created the Wild Card category under the conference theme: Meeting Needs, Advancing Equity: The Power of Comprehensive, Patient-Partnered Care.
Instead of shoehorning them into a theme that doesn’t quite fit, and suffering by comparison, now wild cards can show up as their unique selves.

This is more than a showcase. It’s a design session for the future.
Ontario’s primary care system is under a spotlight — and finally, under serious consideration. Investments are coming. Expectations are rising. And the window to shape what's next is wide open.

Advancing Equity in Cancer Screening for Gender-Diverse Clients
Fri, June 17, 2022
ZOOM Webinar
HOSTED BY the alliance for healthier communities, indigenous primary health care council, nurse practitioner led clinics association, association of family health teams of ontario and ontario health
Ontario Health has developed new, gender-affirming cancer screening guidelines to support the health and wellbeing of Trans and Non-Binary clients. These groups often have lower screening rates than their peers due to outreach that misses eligible clients and screening practices that can trigger gender dysphoria.
Advocacy for Equity in Online OHIP Renewal
AFHTO learned in fall 2021 that only people with a valid Ontario driver’s license could renew their OHIP card online. Most people who could not drive needed to go in-person to a ServiceOntario office.
This was particularly concerning as many people without a license are not in this position by choice. A disability that prevents some people from driving can make in-person renewal difficult at any time. And in a pandemic, going to crowded ServiceOntario offices exposes people to even further risk.
