Welcome to the Sunnybrook Academic Family Health Team (SAFHT)

The SAFHT provides a broad range of primary care services to patients and families across the life span. We are committed to caring for our patients and their families through collaborative teamwork, health promotion, disease prevention, system navigation, mental health programs and chronic disease self-management in order to provide excellent care for all. Low-risk obstetrical care, pediatrics and complex care of the elderly are some of the foci of care.

Our mandate includes teaching as part of the University of Toronto’s department of family and community medicine and research through the Primary Care Research Unit (PCRU) to improve knowledge and skills in the practice of family medicine.

As an Academic Family Health Team, education and teaching of healthcare professionals are a large part of our role. This includes supporting continuing education and professional development opportunities for all staff. In addition to seeing their assigned family physician, patients will also have clinic visits with a family medicine resident or medical student, supervised by faculty physicians.
