Where you live matters when it comes to primary care
Percentage of adults who report having a family doctor, nurse practitioner or primary care setting.
In 2025, we heard from nearly 17,000 people across the country about their experiences of primary care–and how they measured up to the OurCare Standard. Our results showed that we are making progress, but that there is still much work to do in ensuring everyone has access to high-quality primary care. Explore our key findings in the reports and tools below.
Our latest OurCare report highlights variation in access to primary care by province and territory.
The 2025 OurCare Survey offers a national snapshot of how well we are meeting the OurCare Standard today.
This interactive dashboard visualizes the data we collected sorted by the six elements of the OurCare Standard. You can now explore data nationally or by province or territory. Learn how to use this dashboard here.
