In response to an emerging substance use crisis in rural Ontario, a Family Health Team initiated the Rural Outpatient Opioid Treatment program. This program includes access to an interdisciplinary team, opioid agonist therapy, counselling, and peer support. Patients report they appreciate the “seamless” integration of medical, social, and peer support.

A Family Health Team (FHT) is a multi-disciplinary primary healthcare model that may be an ideal setting to engage patients in physical activity. An environmental scan was conducted to determine the prevalence and characteristics of physical activity services offered by FHTs in Ontario. Of the 186 FHTs, 102 (55%) completed the survey. Almost 60% of responding FHTs offered a physical activity service; however, the availability, duration, size, and target population of the services varied depending on the individual FHT.
