FHT Vision

By 2011, the Minto-Mapleton FHT will be recognized as a leader in delivering comprehensive, patient-centred rural primary health care.

FHT Mission

The Minto-Mapleton FHT is a collaborative, interdisciplinary primary care team located in the Town of Minto and Mapleton Township. Our mission is to efficiently provide high quality, accessible, patient-centred care that offers a comprehensive range of core and targeted services aimed at managing and preventing disease and improving health status.

FHT Guiding Principles

The work of the Family Health Team (FHT) is guided by the following principles:

  • Team-based care: We work in interdisciplinary teams of providers including physicians, nurses and other health care professionals to meet the needs of our patient population.
  • Community partnerships: We work in collaboration with our community partners including other health care organizations and professionals.
  • Realistic and Responsive: We strive to respond to the changing needs of our patients in a realistic and timely manner when we make decisions about FHT programming and services.
  • Evidence-based practice: We are committed to developing and using evidence-based practice and continuous re-evaluation to guide our efforts and measure our results.
  • Innovation: We use creative solutions that respond to local community and provider needs to achieve the FHT objectives.
  • Research and education: We value and utilize research and education opportunities provided through the FHT.
  • Patient-centred: We involve our patients in decisions affecting their care and strive to find solutions that are acceptable to them. It is through patient-centred care that we promote a culture of mutual trust and accountability.
