LAMP funding to increase primary care access LAMP will receive $244,700 in provincial funding to help recruit and retain more non-physician primary health care professionals, Etobicoke-Lakeshore MPP Peter Milczyn announced. The south Etobicoke based community health centre is one of 445 primary care organizations across the province - including Ontario’s 184 family health teams, 75 community health centres, 25 nurse practitioner-led clinics and 10 Aboriginal Health Access Centres - to receive the funding, totalling $85 million over the next three years. That influx will allow those organizations to better attract and retain non-physician health care professionals - including nurse practitioners, social workers and registered dieticians to serve more Ontario families, especially in high-needs and remote communities. ● See DELIVERING, page 4
