Alberta Central Zone Primary Care Network

Central Zone Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are a group of healthcare organizations in Alberta, Canada, that coordinate primary care services across the central region of the province. These networks function as partnerships between local family physicians and Alberta Health Services (AHS) to provide a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. By employing teams of healthcare professionals such as registered nurses, mental health clinicians, and dietitians, the PCNs support family doctors in managing chronic diseases and improving overall community health. The Central Zone specifically encompasses ten individual PCNs serving diverse rural and urban populations, including the city of Red Deer. Their services focus on health promotion, disease prevention, and the integration of various health resources to ensure comprehensive patient support.
