WIIKWEMKOONG—The Ontario government is taking the next steps to deliver its primary care action plan, which is on track to connect everyone in the province to a family doctor or primary care provider by 2029. As part of this plan, the province is investing more than $1,580,400 this year to connect up to 1,575 people to primary care in Wiikwemkoong.

Naandwechige-Gamig Wikwemikong Health Centre will establish a process to accept new patients and will communicate this to their local community. 

The funding was announced by Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Bill Rosenberg on Friday of last week. “This funding is part of our government’s plan to connect every person in Ontario to publicly funded primary care by 2029. Under the leadership of Premier (Doug) Ford, our government is protecting Ontario’s health care system and people’s access to convenient care by funding new and expanded primary care teams, helping connect everyone in Ontario to a primary care provider.”
