Mental health is among the top three reasons Canadians visit their GP, yet primary care and mental health remain siloed, creating long wait times, fragmented care, and physician burnout. As Canada’s largest GP clinic operator, WELL Health is well positioned to embed mental health into primary care. Patients often wait months for support, physicians lack referral pathways, and care remains disjointed. WELL’s integrated model solves this by offering seamless in-person and virtual therapy, with patients contacted within an hour of referral. Doctors gain direct pathways, therapists work alongside them, and early results show improved access, physician satisfaction, and patient outcomes. Looking ahead, scaling across WELL’s national network will reduce ER strain and make mental health a core part of primary care. Closing the gap requires healthcare leaders, policymakers, and providers to collaborate—because primary care is mental health care, and together we can transform how Canadians receive support.
