Centre for Family Medicine

The University of Waterloo (UW) is leading the way in changing the way health care is delivered in Waterloo Region. The new downtown health sciences campus is expected to be one of North America's most innovative and robust new teaching and health care facilities, as well as a strong engine for creativity, innovation, prosperity and jobs.

Anchored by the UW School of Pharmacy, the campus will also house McMaster University's Waterloo Regional Campus, the Michael G. Degroote School of Medicine, featuring:

• Centre of Family Medicine
• Family health team
• UW's School of Optometry clinic

The centre is among the first of 53 new Family Health Teams in the province — and among three in Waterloo Region. Family Health Teams include doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and other health-care professionals working together to provide comprehensive care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

As well, doctors at the Centre for Family Medicine are developing teaching programs for medical students and medical residents, from both McMaster University in Hamilton and the University of Western Ontario in London, many of whom will train at local hospitals.
