Who We Are

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.

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 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.

Enhanced Communication & Technology

As part of Summerville, we’ve introduced electronic medical records and enhanced digital communication with private labs and local hospitals. This means:

• Faster access to your test results
• Improved coordination with specialists
• More efficient management of your medical history

After-Hours Care

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.
