Wetaskiwin Pcn

The Wetaskiwin Primary Care Network (PCN) is a non profit health organization created by your local physicians to extend free health care services to the community.

The Wetaskiwin Primary Care Network is a partnership between family physicians and Alberta Health. This non profit health organization was created in 2010 to extend free health care services to our community.

We have a decentralized /centralized hybrid model of care. Offering services out of the PCN main office, local physician's clinics, as well as the Wetaskiwin hospital. Our PCN is comprised of 25 family physicians (located in the 4 participating clinics) & 26 PCN staff, of which 20 provide direct clinical services.

The Wetaskiwin PCN has collaborated to develop additional services available to patients and family members.

Our services became available to the community in the fall of 2011. To better serve the community the services were identified in the following three areas:

1. Mental Health
2. Chronic Disease Management
3. Obstetrics, Women's Wellness & Teen Health

The additional services provided by the Wetaskiwin PCN will mean that as patients have arising health concerns we are readily available & here to help them find the answers to their questions or concerns. You will also find getting reffered is faster and easier as the PCN can directly refer patients to the healthcare provider, program and /or specialist needed. And patients can still make an appoinment to see their physician just as they did before! In fact, with the PCN offering supportive services, patients may actually find that they have better access to their family physician!

Our services are for anyone requiring Primary Care but are targeted at serving specifically the people in the our community. Residents of the City of Wetaskwin & County of Wetaskiwin (including the surrounding communities such as: Millet, Gwynne, Hobbema, Falun, Pigeon Lake & Buck Lake etc).

All services are accessible by physician or self referral; we also connect people without a family physician to those whom are accepting new patients.

Our services are expanding regularily - check back regularly or call us for more information. You can now register to participate in one of our workshops directly from the website workshop page - www. wetaskiwinpcn. ca
