Built for the around 2 million Ontarians without primary care.

People without access to primary care face many challenges. Care is less convenient, there's less oversight, and care is often provided by someone you're meeting for the first time. This leads to a range of effects from inconvenience, to frustration, to real harm โ€” much lower screening rates for cancer, more visits to the emergency room, and increased mortality after losing a family doctor.
