Virtual care helps people access the care they need when and where they need it. We work with our partners to find better value for Ontario’s publicly funded health care system.

Modernize Consumer Access to Care

Health care is about people. It is provided by people, consumed by people, and exists to help people. This reality must inform the way health care is accessed.

By providing a wide range of virtual services that are indispensable to people’s well-being – including unprecedented access to primary care and mental health care – we are modernizing the way consumers access the care they need. More About OTN →
