Health Networks exist within a small, defined geography. They aim to deliver health care services closest to where the patient lives and works. The focus is on the needs of individuals and communities to bring patient and health care services they need, to where they need them. By integrating team-based community and primary health care throughout Saskatchewan, health networks will work to reduce the likelihood of citizens needing acute care, and strengthen the transition back to primary or home care from the hospital by embracing a team approach.
