About Palliser PCN

Palliser PCN acknowledges that we are on the traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy and the people of Treaty 7 region of southern Alberta.  We recognize and honor the homeland of the Metis people.  Further, we are grateful for the traditional knowledge holders and elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us.

The Palliser Primary Care Network supports health homes in south-eastern Alberta. A group of ~ 100 family physicians and over 70 health care professionals work together to improve primary care for our patients.

Physicians participate in interdisciplinary health home teams which have other health care providers working out of physician clinic locations to collaborate with physicians in the delivery of primary care services.

Who is on my health home team?

Your team will include a physician. Your team may also include a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, dietitian, pharmacist and/or behavioural health consultant. As a member of the Palliser PCN your health care provider(s) will remain abreast of best/promising practices and current guidelines in providing your primary care.

Your specific care will be determined by your specific health needs and will include a thorough assessment of your condition. Your team will work collaboratively with you to develop strategies and goals to assist in optimizing your health journey. Some of these strategies may include health counselling, education, and referrals.

We value patients as partners and advocate for a team-based approach to responsibly provide efficient, effective, and innovative resources to support our Health Homes.
