New provincial funding is aimed at improving access to primary care in the Thunder Bay–Superior North region.
The Ontario government says two local health teams will receive support through its $3.4 billion Primary Care Action Plan.
Nearly $1 million is being allocated to the Nipigon District Family Health Team, while the Marathon Family Health Team will receive about $600,000.
Officials say the investment is expected to connect roughly 3,000 more people with ongoing primary care services.
