Primary Health Care for Communities

Primary Health Care putting the Patient First

Consultations held in Saskatchewan, including the Patient First Review (2009), indicated that communities want to have a greater say in the design and delivery of health care services for their residents.

Primary health care in the province is being redesigned so that patients, families and communities can become engaged in assessing their health care needs and planning how to meet them.

Community engagement is essential to building the trust and relationships necessary to create a reliable, effective and sustainable primary health care system.
