Ontario's health care system is evolving and, as part of Ontario Health, the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), in close partnership with Ontario Health Teams (OHTs), is on the forefront of helping to build a modern, technologically supported health care system. This will enable integrated teams of health care professionals to deliver the best possible care for improved patient outcomes.

By building high-performing integrated care delivery systems that provide seamless, fully coordinated care for patients, OHTs will help to achieve better outcomes for patients across the province.
