Équipe Santé Ontario Cochrane District Ontario Health Team

The Équipe Santé Ontario Cochrane District Ontario Health Team (ÉSOCDOHT) is part of a new approach being introduced across Ontario to organize and deliver care that is more connected to patients in their communities. Under this model, health care providers, including hospitals, doctors, and home and community care providers, work together as one coordinated team, regardless of where care is provided. The ÉSOCDOHT is transforming health care in the region by seamlessly connecting patients with the services they need. Communities within the ÉSOCDOHT’s catchment area include Hornepayne, Hearst, Kapuskasing, Smooth Rock Falls, Matheson, Iroquois Falls, Cochrane, Timmins and Chapleau and surrounding areas. By integrating care across the district, our goal is to improve patient outcomes and simplify the health care experience. With over 37 dedicated members, our OHT focuses on areas such as Home and Community Care, Mental Health and Addictions, Primary Care, Indigenous Care, and more. Central to our mission is the active involvement of patients and caregivers in shaping our services. Through the Patient Family and Caregiver Council (PFACC), we empower patients and families to play a key role in improving health care delivery in our community. By fostering collaboration, trust, and transparency, we ensure that the voices of those we serve are at the heart of our decisions, driving continuous improvement and innovation in health care.
