About the Summit
The Integrated Care Action Summit was created by the OHT Community of Practice – representing 58 OHTs across the province – in response to a shared desire to connect in-person and collaborate in more meaningful ways.
The Summit brings together OHTs, Primary Care Networks (PCNs), Patient and Family Advisory Councils (PFACs), and partners – including primary care, acute care, home care, community support services, patients, and caregivers – to share what’s working, learn from challenges, align on shared commitments, and accelerate progress across the system.
Planning and programming are shaped by a dedicated committee with representation from OHTs, PCNs, and PFACs, grounded in a simple belief: integrated care moves faster when communities learn from one another, build on proven work, and advance shared priorities together.

FAQs
Why are OHTs putting on a Summit?
Canada is facing a healthcare crisis, and the only way forward is by working together. Ontario's health system is continually evolving, and no single organization can address today's challenges alone. OHTs, Primary Care Networks (PCNs), patients, families and caregivers, providers and system partners all have a role to play in building a more connected system of care.
The Integrated Care Action Summit (ICAS) brings these groups together in a dedicated forum for OHT-driven dialogue to share ideas, learn from one another, highlight local innovations, and advance practical actions that strengthen integrated care across Ontario.
Is this Summit for OHTs only?
Absolutely not. The Integrated Care Action Summit is designed for anyone committed to strengthening integrated care across Ontario. This includes healthcare leaders, providers, patients and caregivers, community organizations, policy makers, and system partners.
Whether you're part of an OHT, PCN, provider organization, Patient, Family and Caregiver Advisory group, or a system partner, the Summit offers opportunities to learn, connect, and explore how local innovations are improving care across the province.

What are Ontario Health Teams?
Established by Ontario’s Connecting Care Act in 2019, OHTs were created to be an integrated care delivery system that as a new way of organizing care so it’s more connected and coordinated in local communities. OHTs bring providers across the continuum together as one team—working to deliver better coordinated, more integrated care for the people they serve.
