Exciting announcement today by Minister LaGrange regarding the Government of Alberta’s commitment to primary care evolution for Albertans. This announcement included a commitment to integration of Nurse Practitioners and introduction of a direct reimbursement model which will allow NPs to serve Albertans without barriers. This is a huge step for NPs in Alberta and across Canada. As more info is available I will share!
Acknowledging World Menopause Day! The majority of our patients have experienced lack of support when speaking with a provider about their symptoms, struggles and goals. It is our mission to make women feel heard and to address their very real concerns. Thank you for trusting us with your health! Susan
