Ottawa’s Newborn Primary Care Attachment Initiative is transforming how families access doctors—connecting new parents and babies to consistent, local care after years of frustration. Starting at two hospitals, the program now links 445 patients with 65 providers across 85 clinics, even helping parents find their own doctors. Coordinated like a dating app, it matches families by location, language, and needs, easing the stress of newborn care amid Ontario’s severe doctor shortage. With extended funding until 2027, this model is already inspiring other regions to copy it—proving that building lasting doctor-patient relationships starts with a baby’s first check-up.
