About Us

The Dufferin Area Family Health Team consists of physicians, nurses, administrative and other health care professionals that work collaboratively, each utilizing their experience and skills so that you receive the very best care, when you need it, as close to home as possible. The Dufferin Area Family Health Team has four locations, three in Orangeville and one in Grand Valley as well as four satellite family physician sites.  We are located approximately one hour north of Toronto.

The Family Health Team will focus on preventing illness and promoting health.  We will look at the best ways to manage chronic illnesses such as Diabetes, Asthma and heart disease and we will provide better access to mental health services.  We are going to help our patients get healthy and stay healthy by:

• sharing accurate up-to-date information about the best ways to prevent disease and promote health,
• detecting and addressing health concerns earlier, when care is more effective and less costly,
• increasing the range of health conditions that can be assessed and treated in the family doctor's office,
• offering support and strategies to better manage chronic illnesses like diabetes depression and asthma,
• working with patients and their families to "navigate" the health care system so that care is better coordinated.
