Moving forward together: A new space for primary care

  • News

Accessing primary health care support is getting easier.

Calgary Foothills Primary Care Network (PCN) — which offers a variety of free health care services ranging from mental health counselling to advice from a dietitian to nurses who can help answer your health questions — has consolidated all its Calgary services under one roof.

The new location in the UXBorough building, located across 16 Ave from the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre and Foothills Medical Centre, offers a patient-first clinic design with better accessibility, ample parking, easy transit access and greater flexibility to support future needs of the community.

“Our goal is to ensure people can access the primary health care they need, so I’m excited people will be able to come to one location and see the health professional that can best support them,” says Jake Jennings, Executive Director for Calgary Foothills PCN.

“We worked closely with our health providers and patients on the design to make our space welcoming and more functional for everyone. We want our patients to feel comfortable accessing the care they need,” says Jennings.

The consolidated location features patient rooms designed for comfort and safety, multifunctional spaces that accommodate families and strollers and people with mobility challenges.

Collaboration in care

PCNs follow a team-based health care model, where health professionals – like nurses, pharmacists and dietitians – work collaboratively with family doctors to provide health care support through a variety of programs and services.

As part of the public health care system the PCN’s programs and services are free. People can register for in-person or virtual workshops and appointments with most of the health team via cfpcn.ca. Your family physician is also able to refer into all the PCN programs.

Why is the PCN moving?

The new PCN location better supports the health care needs of patients by giving them the opportunity to access the full PCN health team in one location. For example, a person with diabetes could make an appointment with a health management nurse, a clinical pharmacist and a registered dietitian in one location.

The design of the new consolidated primary health care space included input from patients, physicians and health professionals. It is meant to be warm, welcoming, flexible and accessible.

The design also encourages even more collaboration between the PCN’s team of health professionals – like nurses, pharmacists and dietitians – and your primary care provider, such as family physician or nurse practitioner. This integrated team approach further improves the care people receive.
