A Practice Built on Generations of Trust
For over 45 years, Apple Hills Medical Associates (AHMA) has proudly served the Applewood community, delivering comprehensive, community-based primary care. Our physicians have supported generations of families — from delivering babies and making house calls, to providing hospital care and palliative support.
Primary care is often your first point of contact with a doctor or health care team. It includes a wide range of services such as disease prevention and management, treatment, rehabilitation, palliative care, and health promotion.
While we continue to provide these core services, our partnership with the Summerville Family Health Team allows us to build on this strong foundation.
Our Partnership
Expanded Care Through the Summerville Family Health Team
Since 2007, Apple Hills Medical Associates is now part of the Summerville Family Health Team. This partnership allows us to build on our longstanding commitment to your care by expanding access to a broader team of health professionals, all working together to better support your health.
What is a Family Health Team?
Family Health Teams were created by the Ontario Ministry of Health to enhance primary care by integrating physicians with other health care providers. This collaborative model ensures you receive the most effective, timely, and coordinated care possible.
Our Extended Team
At Apple Hills, you'll still have access to your family doctor during regular office hours and continue to benefit from our extended evening and weekend hours for urgent concerns. Now, as part of Summerville Family Health Team, you also have access to:
- Nurse practitioners
- Registered nurses
- Social workers
- Dietitian
- Psychologist & psychiatrist
- Health promotion specialist
- Pharmacist
These professionals work closely with your AHMA physician to support your ongoing care. Whether you see a doctor or another provider in the team, your personal AHMA physician will stay informed through shared documentation and electronic medical records.
Technology & Communication
Modern Tools for Better Care
As part of Summerville, we've introduced electronic medical records and enhanced digital communication with private labs and local hospitals. This means:
Faster Test Results
Faster access to your test results through enhanced digital communication with private labs and local hospitals.
Specialist Coordination
Improved coordination with specialists ensures your care team is always aligned and working from the same information.
Complete Medical History
More efficient management of your medical history through a unified electronic records system accessible across your care team.
After-Hours Support
Available when you need us most
After-Hours Support
Care That Doesn't Stop at 5 PM
Outside of office hours, you can still contact the Telephone Health Advisory Service, where a registered nurse will advise you on urgent health concerns. With your permission, a summary of your call will be sent to your AHMA doctor the next day to ensure continuity of care.
While much has improved, one thing hasn't changed: we are still Apple Hills Medical Associates — your trusted, local family doctors, committed to your health and well-being.
