Primary Care & Patient's Medical Home

Primary Care

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) represent Alberta's innovative model for comprehensive, team-based healthcare. PCNs bring together groups of family practices, where teams of family physicians collaborate with a variety of healthcare professionals—including nurses, pharmacists, mental health therapists, dietitians, and community connectors—to address your everyday health and wellness needs through every stage of life. For more information about primary care in Alberta, visit Alberta's primary healthcare website.

Patient's Medical Home

Your family doctor's clinic serves as your central point in the healthcare system, known as your Patient's Medical Home (PMH) or Health Home. Your doctor works closely with a diverse care team to coordinate your medical journey. Maintaining an ongoing relationship with your doctor and care team is key to reaching your health and wellness goals and ensuring you have access to the support you need throughout your life.

To fully benefit from this model of care, it's important to see your doctor regularly. While your family doctor and care team will guide your treatment, you're also encouraged to take an active role in your health by staying informed and following through with recommended treatments and self-management strategies. For more information on the Patient's Medical Home, visit ACFP and ACTT.

Health Neighbourhood

Your family doctor and care team collaborate closely with Alberta Health Services and other health professionals in your Health Home Community or Neighbourhood. Your Medical Home is an integral part of this larger network, which connects you to a wide range of services, including social programs and health centres.

This continuity of care and seamless coordination between providers is essential for helping you achieve your health and wellness goals. Primary care is built on a team-based approach that fosters lasting relationships between patients and their care teams, ensuring that your needs are met at every step of your healthcare journey.
