About Us


The Guelph Wellington Family Health Organization (GWFHO) offers our patients a team approach to health care. Our team includes patients, family doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners. As a team, we work together to come up with the best possible plan for the health and wellness of our patients.

Family Health Teams enable the family physician to focus more on prevention and chronic disease management by teaming the doctor with other health care professionals  to provide a more comprehensive and coordinate range of services to the patient.  By grouping doctors and other health care professionals into teams it is possible to increase the appropriate use of health care resources to increase patient accessibility, decreasing unnecessary and expensive trips to hospitals. 

The Guelph Wellington Family Health Organization (GWFHO) is also here to assist our patients in navigating the healthcare system and provide you with the necessary tools and resources to improve and maintain your health.
