World Family Doctor Day

Across Ontario, family doctors are driving innovation in different ways. 

Reimagining Care for Patients 

Family doctors are reimagining care every day, using new approaches and tools to better support patient needs. 

Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe, a family doctor focused on women’s health, is reimagining care by using new approaches and tools to better support and educate patients.

Driving Innovative Solutions to System Challenges 

Family doctors are improving access, removing barriers, and redesigning how care works. 

Dr. Andrew Pinto and Dr. Archna Gupta, through their work at the Upstream Lab, are addressing social determinants of health and driving solutions that improve access and reduce barriers for patients.

Building the Future of Care 

Family doctors are building the future of care by mentoring and inspiring the next generation to lead and innovate.  

Dr. Joyce Cheung is helping build the future of care by supporting new models of practice, including locum work, that improve flexibility and sustainability for family doctors.

Dr. Basel Bari, who advanced cardiovascular disease research and care for underserved communities, has mentored Dr. Aleem Hussain to continue delivering compassionate, patient-centered family medicine.
