The EasT-FPN Current Initiatives
The East Toronto Family Practice Network (EasT-FPN) is actively helping their community to work towards their vision to build a better system in order to assist patients. The EasT-FPN, its membership and staff, have been actively involved in participating within the community and are actively engaged in voluntary community work outside of their primary care practice.
Take a look below for some of the current EasT-FPN collaboration efforts. Register here to be notified and/or participate in any of the current EasT-FPN initiatives.
HEALTH ACCESS TAYLOR-MASSEY
Health Access Taylor-Massey (HATM), a new healthcare, community and social services centre, is now open in Crescent Town! It offers connections to services and resources, including COVID-19 supports, to people who live in the Taylor-Massey neighbourhood and surrounding areas.
The goal is to improve the health and well-being of local residents by making it easier for people to find the care they need in one place that is close to home. The diverse team of healthcare providers includes family doctors, nurses, mental health counsellors, a resource navigator and others.
To learn more about Health Access Taylor-Massey, including address, hours and services, visit ethp.ca/HATM. We encourage you to share this information with your family and friends who live in and around Taylor-Massey!
Primary and Community Care (PCC) Response Teams
Partners by geographic area are creating virtual care teams, targeting Community Housing units housing the frail and vulnerable populations in East Toronto with the aim to ensure they have the care that they need.
Our Vision: East Toronto residents have access to ‘one team’ of health and social care providers working in partnership with local communities to meet their needs.
Primary and Community Care (PCC) Response Teams help vulnerable adults by developing a coordinated care plan that addresses the various social determinants of health that may affect their well-being. Click here for more information and how you can refer clients to PCC response teams.
