The Brantford Brant Norfolk Primary Care Network (PCN)
The Brantford Brant Norfolk Primary Care Network is a largely self-organized group that has been actively engaged as a Brantford Brant Norfolk Ontario Health Team partner since 2019. The Network has been remarkably successful in providing leadership and a cohesive voice for primary care providers in the region.
The group is currently comprised of representatives of the majority of primary care organizations within Brantford Brant and Norfolk, which are affiliated with approximately 101 Nurse Practitioners and Physicians providing care to a patient population of over 200,000. Members have volunteered their time to contribute to many of the Ontario Health Team’s working groups and its overall leadership structure, and have leveraged a collective sense of purpose to spearhead the community’s response to COVID-19.

The Primary Care Networks in Action Summit
The Brantford Brant Norfolk Primary Care Network (PCN) Summit on March 31 brought together an incredibly engaged group of family physicians, nurse practitioners, and primary care leaders from across the region, all committed to building a more connected, collaborative system of care. The strong participation reflected a shared momentum toward improving patient experiences while also supporting providers—particularly through exploring team-based care and digital solutions that can help reduce administrative burden and burnout. The evening created space for meaningful dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and forward-thinking ideas that will continue to shape primary care in our community. A sincere thank you to our keynote speakers for their insight and leadership, and to everyone who contributed to making this inaugural summit such a valuable and inspiring event.
