Project Manager – Mackenzie Health Academic Family Health Team (MH AFHT)
Who We Are
Mackenzie Health is leading the development of the Mackenzie Health Academic Family Health Team (MH AFHT), a new primary care clinic, based on an interprofessional team model, serving Western York Region. The MH AFHT will improve access to comprehensive, team-based primary care, advance patient attachment, and support education, research and innovation in partnership with the Western York Region Ontario Health Team (WYR OHT) and academic partners.
Approved by the Government of Ontario in July 2026 and expected to begin welcoming patients in January 2027, the MH AFHT represents an important investment in the future of primary care for the rapidly growing communities of Vaughan, Richmond Hill and King. Currently, fewer than seven per cent of residents in Western York Region have access to team-based primary care, creating a significant opportunity to expand access and build stronger connections across the continuum of care.
The MH AFHT will bring together family physicians and allied health professionals, including social workers, dietitians, physiotherapists and others, to provide coordinated care that responds to patients' health and social needs. An integrated electronic medical record and shared digital tools will help connect information across care settings, strengthening collaboration, continuity of care and the experience of patients and caregivers.
With a strong academic mandate, the MH AFHT will also serve as a teaching clinic affiliated with the future York University School of Medicine, helping to educate the next generation of family physicians while advancing research, innovation and new approaches to integrated primary care.
Together with Mackenzie Health, the WYR OHT and its community and academic partners, the MH AFHT has an opportunity to build a new model of accessible, connected and innovative primary care for one of Ontario's fastest-growing regions.
