Our partners
North York Toronto Health Partners (NYTHP) is a partnership of health care providers across the continuum working together to design a connected system and deliver seamless care for patients.
There are currently 22 Core partners from across the continuum of care, as well as a broad range of 30+ Alliance partners, a Patient and Caregiver Health Council and a Primary Care Network which includes more than 200 primary care physicians. NYTHP has formalized, strengthened and expanded existing health care partnerships in our community, some that are decades long.
Core Partners
The 22 Core partners reflect the continuum of health care: hospital, home care, community support services, mental health and addictions, primary care and long-term care.
Alliance Partners
The Alliance partners and Working Group members include social service agencies involved in areas such as food security and services for people with developmental disabilities
Family Health Groups and Family Health Organizations
Patient and Caregiver
Health Council
NYTHP Patient and Caregiver Health Council (PCHC) is a group of diverse, passionate people with lived experience who bring the perspective of patients, caregivers, family members and residents to each NYTHP strategic initiative. PCHC members are involved in program co-design, and ensure that the team considers integration, transparency, inclusion and health equity for the population served.
Primary Care Network
The North York Primary Care Network (PCN) provides a forum for communication, dissemination of information and represents the interests of the primary care community within the NYTHP OHT.
The Network was formerly known as the NYTHP Primary Care Association. This name change has been made to reflect the strength of the PCN's membership of 200+ primary care providers. It also aligns with the OHT model of primary care networks having a central role in shaping a more integrated health care system.
Backbone Team
The NYTHP is structured according to the Collective Impact Model first articulated in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. A core feature of Collective Impact is a Backbone Team, which are a group of professionals from different member organizations whose full or part-time role is to support the work of the NYTHP.
There are currently 12 backbone members from across eight organizations who work as a virtual team to support planning and implementation of joint projects, providing direction, practical support and coordinating the work of the NYTHP across the initiatives/workstreams.
