So they built a project, they\u2019ve built an expansion plan, that covers the direct healthcare professionals\u2019 cost, but it also covers the cost for the facilities and the IT and administration and all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n As part of the expansion, a new clinic is set to open in Deseronto, alongside new mobile health units serving rural areas in North Lennox and Addington.<\/p>\n TYLER ALLSOPP ANNOUNCEMENT<\/p>\n The Ontario government is investing more than $2.6 million to connect nearly 6,000 more residents in Hastings and Prince Edward counties to primary care.<\/p>\n This funding allows the local Ontario Health Team to expand its reach by adding more nurses and allied health professionals to existing community clinics and family health teams.<\/p>\n Allsopp says it is important for people to get on Health Care Connect.<\/p>\n https:\/\/media-cdn.socastsrm.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1977\/files\/2026\/04\/tyler-allsopp.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cBecause that is the primary place where people are getting referrals, is off that Health Care Connect list. With these announcements as they\u2019ve been rolling out, we\u2019re seeing a lot of people coming off those lists, and so if you are looking for primary care out there, please sign up for Health Care Connect.\u201d<\/p>\n Residents looking for a provider are still encouraged to register through the Health Care Connect website or by calling 811.<\/p>\n The move is part of $3.4 billion to ensure every Ontarian is connected to a primary care provider by 2029.<\/p>\n You can get a link to sign up for Health Care Connect by CLICKING HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n
