Your Health
Matters
Health Matters is published by
Calgary and area Primary Care
Networks (PCNs) to give you
information about the programs,
services and health teams available to
you through your family doctor. PCNs
in the Calgary area were established
about 10 years ago to provide people
with health services and programs
through their family physicians.
Today, PCNs work with teams of other
healthcare professionals, as well as
offer programs such as Prescription
to Get Active and Find-a-Doctor.

Who’s Who
in Your
Medical
Home
Your family doctor’s clinic is your medical home—a place of
care that you turn to first for health support. It’s where your
doctor connects you to the care you need, when you need it.
Through Primary Care Networks, your medical home is
backed by a team of healthcare professionals. Depending
on the support you need, your doctor can provide access to
a dietitian, social worker, kinesiologist and other healthcare
providers. Speaking with your doctor is the best way to find
out what supports are available and determine your course
of care.
Plus, by visiting your family doctor regularly, you’re more likely
to have better health overall, receive better care, make fewer
visits to the emergency room and be hospitalized less often.
