We’re excited to share that Magenta Health is participating in Ontario’s Primary Care Action Plan, an initiative designed to improve access to primary care across the province.
What is Ontario Primary Care Action Plan?
In 2025, Ontario launched a provincial health strategy called the Primary Care Action Plan, with the goal of ensuring that every person in the province is connected to primary care.
As part of the initial rollout of the action plan, communities within certain postal codes have been identified for priority access based on the greater challenges they face in accessing primary care. These postal codes will be offered expanded intake appointment availability so that patients in these communities are able to find a family doctor.
How Is Magenta Health Participating?
We are working closely with our regional primary care network and Ontario Health Team to stream priority patients into an expanded intake availability pathway.
As a first step, Magenta Health has put together a revamped registration process that will identify these patients to better direct their registrations should they register with us.
We are also contacting priority patients in our system who have previously pre-registered to offer them the opportunity to access the expanded intake appointment availability.
As the action plan evolves, Magenta Health will evolve our processes to better support the plan’s goals.
As seen in the screenshots below, patients in these priority postal codes are pulled into a different pathway once they start the registration process with us.
Step 1 - Initial pre-registration page
Postal codes are checked at this step.
Step 2 - Personal contact information page
Only prioritized postal code individuals or individuals within Magenta Health clinic catchment areas are redirected to a second form to collect more information.
Step 3 - Prioritized postal code stream
Prioritized postal code individuals are then funneled into the expanded availability stream.
