The waiting continues for officials hoping to create a Chatham-Kent Ontario Health Team. 
Yesterday, the province announced Mississauga as the first of 24 health teams to receive approval, implementing a new model of organizing and delivering health care that better connects patients and providers in their communities.
Locally, 15 health organizations are collaborating on a bid to be granted OHT status.
Provincial officials made a site visit earlier this month, as part of the application process.
