Round 1 – Summary

In January 2025, the Ontario government announced a $1.8 billion investment to 
support Dr. Jane Philpott and the Primary Care Action Team’s plan to connect every 
person in Ontario to primary care by 2029. On April 10, 2025, the Ministry of Health 
launched the first call for proposals to create and expand up to 80 primary care teams 
to connect 300,000 people to a family doctor and primary care in 2025. This first call 
was targeted to communities, by forward sortation area (first three characters of a 
postal code), that had the highest number of people not connected to primary care.

Throughout the province, 80 eligible Forward Sortation Areas (FSAs) were identified. These FSAs were then assigned to the Ontario Health Team who had the highest market share of attributed population in that FSA. OHTs were limited to submitting one proposal/ FSA, up to a maximum of 5 proposals/OHT.​

​The Ottawa OHT-ÉSO assigned 8 FSAs, the second highest in the province.
