DID YOU KNOW?

Each Ontario Health Team (OHT) experiences HUNDREDS of changes to their Primary Care Healthcare Directories every few months.

                                     This includes:

New clinics opening and some clinics closing.  
Changes to hours of operation.  
Changes to clinician availability  
Changes to service availability

Empower Health has been collecting these changes Ontario-wide for over 10 years.

About Empower Health

Founded in 2011, Empower Health maintains the Canada's most complete and actively updated directories of healthcare services and clinicians with a focus on Ontario, including information about which primary care clinics and clinicians are accepting new patients.

Empower Health's directories are queried more than 3 million times each month to support patient navigation initiatives across Canada, including seasonal and regional initiatives in partnership with Ontario Health Team, such as [HolidayHours.ca](https://HolidayHours.ca) , [Care-Clinics.ca](https://Care-Clinics.ca) , [Regional-Virtual-Urgent-Care.ca](https://Regional-Virtual-Urgent-Care.ca) and [PrimaryCareCensus.ca](https://PrimaryCareCensus.ca).

The EMPOWER Health team is ready to co-design and implement a solution that aligns with your local community and healthcare system partners to fit your preferences, existing programs and unique workflow.
