Integrated care for our urban communities

“Working with the doctors, we were able to get my son in smaller class sizes to meet his needs.”

Six-year-old Dixon was first referred to the Paediatric School Outreach clinic at Parkdale Public School because of separation anxiety he experienced when leaving his mom. With the help of Dr. Anne Wormsbecker and the team, Dixon’s mom Tammy was able to get him the resources he needed to succeed at school.

Unity Health is proud to deliver a comprehensive spectrum of health care across the full breadth of Toronto. With St. Joseph’s in the west, St. Michael’s in the downtown core and Providence in the east, Unity Health’s sites have been an integral part of our city’s communities for generations. Every person who turns to us for care brings with them their personal history, needs and experiences. Every person’s health care journey is different. Over the next five years, we will work closely with our patients and partners to seamlessly integrate each person’s journey across the spectrum of care. Through the use of technology, research and data, we will make sure people receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place.

In five years, Unity Health Toronto will:

  • Be the leader in integrated care for diverse urban communities.
  • Provide integrated care that encompasses enhanced 24/7 access, seamless transitions, innovative options for provider/patient interaction including virtual care, increased patient autonomy and choice in care.
  • Continue to be a trusted and valued partner that collaborates well with all providers in the health system.

“Dr. Anne Wormsbecker gives my son 110% care. She was really great with me too, and helped me find resources in the community for parents.”
