More than 40,000 people in the Hamilton region have access to primary health care through McMaster Family Health Team (MFHT), a collaboration of three separate clinics operated by our Health Services team.

MFHT clinics, which are academic teaching units, have a wide range of benefits for patients, students, researchers and the health care system as a whole. Some of these benefits are:

• Patients directly benefit from the innovations of our department’s Research team;
• Future health care workers become the best possible practitioner through a robust education program;
• The future of our health care system is being realized through our commitment to system transformation and challenging the status quo.
