Increased access

The CWC PCN has programs to help provide you with increased access to a doctor. Through the CWC 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.
