Sarnia-Lambton Health Team Addresses Primary Care Gap

About 12,000 people in Sarnia-Lambton lack a primary care provider, according to Nadine Neve, head of the area's Ontario Health Team.

“It’s really about what allied health or physician roles, nurse practitioner roles do we need,”

said Neve. The Sarnia-Lambton Ontario Health Team, consisting of six staff members, has been working to enhance local primary care since spring, aiming to connect every person with a family doctor or primary care provider by 2029.

As the executive lead of the provincially-funded agency, Neve oversees the coordination of care with various health-care and social service providers in the area, with approximately 43 partners currently on board.
