Why is it important to have a Family Doctor?

Family doctors and their teams care for your everyday health needs. Research show people who regularly visit their family doctor stay healthier throughout their life.

It is important to seek care from your family doctor for all your health concerns, as they look at the bigger picture, know your health history, and care about you and your health. See your family doctor before accessing other health care providers, as they can help prevent future illness and catch problems early before they get serious.

Family doctors in Alberta have been collaborating with Primary Care Networks (PCNs) for over ten years and together we have increased access for patients to their family doctors and the Health Care system.
