What is Team Care?
Team Care (formerly known as PINOT) provides health supports to the clients/patients of physicians not affiliated with an interprofessional team.
Our systems navigators assess the circumstances of each client/patient and then connects them to London InterCommunity Health Centre’s internal programs and services, at no cost, and to external resources.
With Team Care, everyone works together to better the health and well-being of the each client/patient.

- Lives in East London
- Has no private health insurance or has exhausted all EAP/benefits services
- Experiences barriers in accessing services due to the social determinants of health
