Job Description
Organization: Bluewater Area Family Health Team
The Bluewater Area Family Health Team (BAFHT) functions as a Blended Salary Model health care team that provides primary care for patients in the surrounding communities. The BAFHT is governed by a community sponsored Board of Directors and funded 100% by the MOHLTC. The BAFHT consists of 3 full time physicians (fourth physician joining the team in August 2016), an NP, PA, RN, Social Worker and Administrative Staff. The BAFHT currently has 4115 rostered patients with a benchmark set at 5340 patients. The BAFHT have a variety of programs including chronic disease management, STOP Smoking, Diabetic Program, COPD, Palliative Care, Preventive Health Care and Well Babies to mention a few.
In May 2015, the MOHLTC approved an addition to the existing clinic that will start in April 2016 and be completed by March 2017. The new expansion will include additional patient treatment rooms, a program room for patient and employee education, physiotherapy and exercise programs as well as space for our community partners. While Zurich is classified as an underserviced area, there are three local hospitals within a half-hour of BAFHT. The University of Western Ontario (London) teaching hospital is an hour away. The BAFHT is very busy and everyone works together as a multidisciplinary team with office and program efficiencies. The strengths associated with the BAFHT are the staff dedication, and team synergy that ensures patient focused care. Best Practice Guidelines and technology also underpin our success.
Our rural community, on the shores of Lake Huron, offers year-round access to museums, cultural attractions, festivals and events, indoor and outdoor recreation activities, natural areas, parks, spas, organic farms, farmers markets, antiques, restaurants and pubs, boutique and big-box shopping. A variety of religious denominations meet the needs of our diverse population. Primary and secondary school education is provided through the public and separate school boards. Housing is more affordable in rural communities compared to urban cities.
