Patient Care Teams (PCTs)

The CWC PCN works with over 85 clinics to provide allied health care professionals including nurses, behavioural health consultants, social workers and patient care coordinators to facilitate the right service at the right time for the patient.

Increased access

The CWC PCN has programs to help provide you with increased access to a doctor. Through the Primary Care Centre, we offer seven-day-a-week, same-day appointment service for non-emergency care to patients whose family physician is a member of the CWC PCN.

Seniors services

Seniors with complex medical issues can be referred by their family physician to the Geriatric Assessment & Support (GAS) program. Each evaluation lasts about three hours and may involve consultations with professionals such as pharmacists, geriatric psychiatrists or gerontology nurses. For seniors that are home-bound, a small pilot program in partnership with Alberta Health Services called Seniors Home Based Primary Care provides a comprehensive team-based care program allowing some frail seniors to receive care in place.
