The Alliance and our members have always been committed to population health as a fundamental part of our Model of Health and Wellbeing. This includes
- Providing the highest-quality preventive care and chronic disease management
- Collaboration with community and system partners
- Providing low- and no-barrier health and wellbeing programming for community members who receive primary health care elsewhere
- Tailoring care and outreach to the needs, assets, and priorities, and values of the communities they serve
This page lists some examples of population health initiatives led by the Alliance and its members.
# TeamCare
TeamCare and its regional variants (SPIN, PINOT, and PACT) provide a pathway for solo providers to connect their clients to interprofessional teams. This ensures that their most medically and socially complex clients can get the comprehensive supports they need without losing their relationship with the family doctor or nurse practitioner they've known for years.
# Learnings from the Community Vaccination Promotion (CVP) Project
At the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Alliance partnered with four national and provincial community primary health care associations to develop a pan-Canadian strategy for reducing barriers to vaccination for marginalized people in Canada. Although developed and funded at the national level, the strategy was realized locally, in partnership with community ambassadors, public health units, churches, social organizations, and and trusted community leaders. Here in Ontario, eleven Alliance member organizations led tailored, culturally informed CVP projects that featured door-do-door outreach; local, ethnic media coverage; partnerships with religious and community leaders; multi-lingual literature and in-person interpretation; and peer support. All of this work was informed and enabled by Alliance members' deep connections to their communities and rich understanding of those communities' unique assets, priorities, and needs.
