Mental Health & Addiction
The Brantford Brant Norfolk Ontario Health Team's Mental Health and Substance Use priority area is focused on closing gaps in how care is connected across Brantford, Brant, and Norfolk. Through cross-sector collaboration, we are working to make it easier for people to move between services, reduce stigma, and ensure that mental health and substance use support is built into how care is delivered across our region, not treated as separate from the rest of the health system.
Digital Health
One of the OHT's top priorities is to work towards a more digitally enabled healthcare system in our community. We plan to use technology and automation so that you can see your health care provider from the comfort of your own home! This also means enhanced sharing of information between hospital and primary care, giving you faster access to your own health information.

Dementia
In 2019 it was estimated that 3,741 people in Brantford/Brant live with dementia, cared for by 6,000 individuals whose own well-being is impacted by demands of their role as a caregiver.
The OHT is working to connect providers from various organizations in order to improve quality of care, enhance caregiver access to coping tools and respite, and decrease the need for repeat emergency visits.
