Algoma Ontario Health Team

What Algoma Ontario Health Team does

The Algoma Ontario Health Team (AOHT) is a publicly funded healthcare coordination entity established around 2019-2020 under Ontario's Health Team policy framework, operating from Sault Ste. Marie and serving 103,090 residents across approximately 32,000 square kilometers of the Algoma District. It functions as a network convener rather than a care provider, coordinating 23 member organizations that span acute care (Sault Area Hospital), primary care (Group Health Centre, Algoma Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic, multiple Family Health Teams), public health (Algoma Public Health), mental health and addictions (CMHA Algoma), hospice (ARCH Hospice), social services (Algoma Family Services, Community Living Algoma), and humanitarian response (Canadian Red Cross). The organization is governed by a Leadership Council, Operations Committee, and Priority Population Committees organized around five priority areas: Healthy Aging, Complex Chronic Conditions, Mental Health and Addictions, Individuals Unattached to Primary Care, and Community Partnership and Engagement.

The AOHT's product and technology portfolio includes proprietary toolkits (Mobile Care Partnership Toolkit, Community Partnership Toolkit) that have been adopted by peer OHTs; the Community Wellness Bus, an evidence-based mobile health clinic launched during COVID-19 to re-engage underhoused and mental-health-affected populations; the Virtual Care Navigator digital platform co-developed with Algoma University's VITAL Team for mental health and addictions service navigation; and structured care programs including Living Well with COPD, Early Frailty ID, Healthy Aging Education Series, Preventative Screening, and Patient Attachment. A 5-person secretariat (Director of Integrated Care, Manager of Programs, Transformation Consultant, Project Coordinator, Data Coordinator) coordinates the work, supported by 150+ contributing individuals across the member network.

Revenue is sourced from Ontario Ministry of Health OHT Implementation Funding and is not commercially priced; services are provided to Algoma District residents at no direct cost. The AOHT engages residents through Project Percolator events, community wellness activities, screening clinics, a website (algomaoht.ca), YouTube, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn, and cross-organization collaborations, including with the neighboring Maamwesying Ontario Health Team on transitions in care and culturally grounded delivery.

Core offering

The Algoma Ontario Health Team (AOHT) is a collaborative network of 23 health and social service organizations that coordinates integrated, digitally-enabled healthcare across the Algoma District of Ontario, Canada. It delivers programs spanning primary care attachment, mental health and addictions navigation, healthy aging, COPD self-management, mobile care via the Community Wellness Bus, and virtual care navigation, while publishing toolkits and resources for partner organizations.

Product overview

The Algoma Ontario Health Team (AOHT) is a collaborative network of healthcare organizations working to improve integrated care for the Algoma District.

The portfolio includes two comprehensive toolkits (Mobile Care Partnership Toolkit and Community Partnership Toolkit) that provide downloadable resources for healthcare partners; patient education resources like the Living Well with COPD guide; mobile healthcare services such as the Community Wellness Bus; digital platforms like the Virtual Care Navigator for mental health navigation; and various healthcare initiatives covering healthy aging, patient attachment, preventative screening, and early frailty identification. The AOHT also facilitates engagement through forums like Project Percolator.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Aledade: A value-based care company that partners with independent primary care providers to coordinate care, manage population health, and reduce costs. Conceptually comparable to AOHT's patient attachment and care coordination priorities, though operating in a commercial US payer-funded model.
• Xealth: Digital health platform enabling health systems to prescribe and manage digital care tools, including care navigation and patient engagement. Conceptually comparable to AOHT's Virtual Care Navigator and digital care coordination initiatives, though operating commercially with US health systems.
• Wellframe: Digital health platform offering mobile care navigation and health management solutions. Conceptually analogous to AOHT's Virtual Care Navigator platform for mental health and addictions services, addressing similar care navigation challenges in a different funding model.

Broad incumbents

• Privia Health: US-based physician practice and medical group enabling coordinated, value-based care across multi-specialty networks. Shares the structural approach of aligning independent provider organizations around shared population health goals, analogous to AOHT's 23-organization network.
• Kaiser Permanente: Leading integrated care delivery system combining payers, hospitals, and physician groups to coordinate care. While vastly larger and US-based, it represents the gold-standard model of fully integrated care that AOHT's OHT model aims to emulate regionally.
• Geisinger Health: Integrated health system serving rural and suburban Pennsylvania populations. Comparable to AOHT in addressing geographically dispersed populations with integrated care delivery, population health management, and digital navigation tools.
• Ontario Health: The provincial agency that oversees the OHT initiative and provides implementation funding to AOHT. Operates at a much broader scale across the entire province, but shares the same mandate of integrated, population-health-driven care delivery.

Direct peers

• Toronto East Health Partners: Another Ontario Health Team operating under the same OHT provincial model, coordinating integrated care across a defined geographic population. Comparable in mandate, funding model, and integrated care priorities (mental health, chronic disease, primary care attachment).
• Maamwesying Ontario Health Team: A neighboring Ontario Health Team serving Indigenous and surrounding communities in northeastern Ontario. AOHT explicitly collaborates with Maamwesying on Project Percolator events and culturally grounded care, making it the closest operational peer in the same OHT model.

Others

• Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA): National mental health organization; CMHA Algoma is a core AOHT partner. CMHA operates mental health programs and advocacy at a national scale, sharing the mental health/addictions services focus that is one of AOHT's five priority areas.
