The Arnprior and District Family Health Team affirms their commitment to equal treatment of all our current and future patients respecting everybody’s individual choices, ethnicity, race, religion and circumstances. We stand with all communities in Ontario, Canada and around the world who are confronting and combating racism of all kinds.

We know that many Canadians face racism and discrimination and that it is a part of their daily reality. We commit to supporting our patients and the community to help those who experience this reality, through our work as health care professionals.

Ribbon Cutting Celebration

We hosted a special ribbon-cutting celebration to mark the completion of our 2025/26 renovation project!

Made possible through Interprofessional Primary Care Team (IPCT) funding received in 2025 from Ontario Health to expand our interprofessional team and attach more patients in our community.

The two new flexible clinic rooms on the second floor improve patient flow and provide the additional space we need for our Nurse Practitioners, Registered Practical Nurses, and other health care professionals whose support has allowed physicians to welcome and attach more patients from the community.

This expansion is a result of our partnership with six other organizations in the Ottawa West Four Rivers Ontario Health Team to help deliver on Ontario’s Plan for Connected and Convenient Care to attach all Ontarians to primary care by 2029.

Our work doesn’t stop here.

We are continuing to plan for future team growth, including recruitment of physicians and securing the additional space needed to connect even more community members with the care they need.

Thank you to Billy Denault, MPP, Renfrew – Nipissing – Pembroke, Scott Brum, Deputy Mayor of McNab Braeside, Arnprior Regional Health, FHT board members, physicians, staff, and community partners who joined us to celebrate this important milestone.
