Red Deer Primary Care Network (RDPCN)
We are part of your Patient Medical Home. Primary Care Networks (PCNs) bring local physicians and other health care professionals together to provide comprehensive patient care to Albertans. PCNs are comprised of groups of family physicians working with other health care professionals such as Nurses, Pharmacists, Nurse Practitioners, Exercise Specialists, Social Workers, and Mental Health Professionals.
PCNs develop solutions to meet the needs of the local community and their health issues. The Red Deer PCN supports the communities of Red Deer, Blackfalds and Penhold.
PCNs are created through an agreement between physicians and Alberta Health Services. Note that PCNs are not a governing body to physicians; the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta regulates the practice of medicine in Alberta.
Red Deer PCN acknowledges that we work on Treaty 7 land, the traditional territory of the Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy), Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda peoples; Treaty 6, the traditional territory of the Cree, Nakoda Sioux, Dene, and Saulteaux peoples; as well as Métis Nation Region 3 Battle River Territory; We acknowledge the Traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders, both past and present, and are grateful for their contributions that helped keep this land beautiful. We are committed to meaningful reconciliation and wholistic health for all. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation.
