Diabetes, cardiovascular, and other chronic disease management
Chronic ailments like diabetes, heart disease, vascular disease, and asthma impact our community
young and old. We provide specialized one-on-one support and broader community-based programs
and activities in complement with our primary care to help better manage these conditions and their
complications proactively.

Access to specialized care using Ontario Telemedicine
Timely access to physician-specialists is a common concern in Ontario today, but the matter is especially
relevant in a largely rural area such as ours. We offer audio-video consultation to patients and all
members of the community through our Ontario Telemedicine technology. This provides access to
leading specialists in other locations of the province.

A good many of the services we offer that are so widely valued in our community are not funded by the
Ontario Government. These include our after-hours, walk-in clinics, specialized programs, and supports
we provide to seniors and other members of our community. It’s your contributions that enable us to
contribute in the unique and meaningful way that we do. If you would be interested in making a
donation to the Kawartha North Family Health team, please visit our donations page to learn more.
