Mission, vision, approach
Mission
Happy Doctors, Healthy Communities.
Our mission reinforces that well-supported family doctors are foundational for healthy communities and doctors’ ability to provide excellent primary care to patients. A happy doctor in this context is a physician who is fulfilled and re-committed to their work because they are supported, healthy, valued, and empowered. Patients are at the centre of the healthcare system and continue to be the ultimate focus of our work.
