Interprofessional Primary Care Team
About this Program
The Scarborough IPPC is a new program that provides patients access to a coordinated team of health care professionals. The goal of our team is to strengthen the integration of primary care services to improve the patient experience and to meet the needs of vulnerable patients with complex healthcare requirements. To receive IPPC services, patients may be referred by their family doctor or nurse practitioner.
