City Of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team

What City Of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team does

City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team (CKL FHT) is a non-profit, publicly funded primary care organization established around 2011 to deliver team-based primary care to residents of the City of Kawartha Lakes in Ontario, Canada. It operates six clinic locations spanning Lindsay (headquarters), Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Woodville, Little Britain, and Omemee, plus after-hours walk-in capacity extended to a fourth site in Minden, and an Unattached Care Clinic serving residents without a family doctor. The care model is interdisciplinary, combining family physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, registered practical nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, social workers, and medical receptionists to deliver coordinated primary care alongside a broad portfolio of chronic disease and prevention programs (Heart Failure, Memory Clinic, STOP Smoking Cessation, Lipid Management, Exercise is Medicine, Mindful Self Compassion, Foot Care, Healthy Lung/Asthma-COPD, Anticoagulant, and Breastfeeding Clinic).

The underlying technology stack is modest: a standard Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system supports clinical documentation, while patient scheduling and self-service booking are delivered through the third-party Ocean by CognisantMD platform. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors (physician members including Dr. Ruth Wilson as President, Dr. Stuart Bothwell, Dr. Marina Pretorius, Dr. Bert Lauwers, and Treasurer Carolyn Daynes, CA) and is led by Executive Director Mike Perry, a lawyer and social worker who is a citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario. Compliance is anchored in Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004.

CKL FHT is funded through the Ontario Ministry of Health under the Family Health Team model, with services billed primarily through OHIP and supplemented by WSIB and private insurer billing for applicable cases. Patient acquisition relies on the provincial Health Care Connect referral program, the Unattached Care Clinic, the website (cklfamilyhealthteam.com), and word-of-mouth. The current 2023-2026 Strategic Plan prioritizes a one-team culture, expanded access to care, and community collaboration. No revenue, funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, or external investors are disclosed.
