You’ve probably heard the term Family Health Organization or FHO tossed around when looking for a doctor in Mississauga. Sounds official — but what does it mean for you?

Here’s the real talk: being part of an FHO means easier access to care, even when your clinic’s technically closed. It also means you’ve got a doctor who actually knows your story — and a team behind them if they’re not around.

Okay, but what is an FHO?

Basically, it’s a group of family doctors working together. They share the load and help each other cover patients, especially after hours. So if your doc’s not available one evening or weekend, someone else from the same group can step in — and they’ll still know your health file.

At BritCare Medical, we’re part of one. That’s why we can offer after-hours help and faster follow-up for registered patients.

Why being in an FHO actually matters

• You get after-hours care
  Got a concern late at night or on a weekend? You don’t always have to sit in urgent care or wait for Monday. We’ve got after-hours options for our rostered patients.

• You build a relationship with your doc
  Your doctor gets to know you — not just your health history, but how you talk, how you describe stuff, what you worry about. That makes a difference.

• Your care is more connected
  Need a referral? A check-in after bloodwork? Help with a long-term issue? Things don’t fall through the cracks when your care’s connected under one roof.

• You’ll usually be seen faster
  Since you’re part of your doctor’s roster, you get priority. That includes same-day or next-day appointments when it really can’t wait.
  
  How to get started
  
  It’s easy. You just register with us at BritCare and fill out the FHO form — nothing complicated. Once you’re on the roster, you get access to all the extra support, including after-hours care.
  
  And don’t worry if your doctor’s off one day — another doc in the group can still see you and help out.
  
  Real care. Real access. No guessing.
  
  Being part of a Family Health Organization just means you’re not on your own. If something comes up, you’re backed by a full care team — not just one overbooked doctor.
