FAMILY HEALTH TEAMS

Horizon Health Network is establishing Family Health Teams to enhance the delivery of primary health care for New Brunswickers. This collaborative model has been proven to provide better access and an improved patient experience by bringing together different health care professionals with a variety of competencies, skills and experiences to address the needs of the patients they serve.

Instead of being matched with a single provider, New Brunswickers will be matched to a Family Health Team in their community, ensuring they can access the right health care from the right practitioner, at the right time. 

Within a Family Health Team, care is centred around the patient. This neighbourhood-based model addresses the unique needs of a population and supports the health and well-being of our health care workforce. The goal of Family Health Teams is to provide primary care services within five days, either virtually or in person, based on the nature of the health concern. Ultimately, this model will ensure all New Brunswickers have equal access to high-quality care, no matter where they live within the province.

OUR VISION

Over the next five years, New Brunswickers will see a transformative change in the way primary health care is delivered.

By 2029, Family Health Teams will be established throughout the province and all New Brunswickers
in areas served by Horizon will
be matched with a Family Health Team.

We are working closely with our partners to bring this vision to life.
