The Future of Healthcare

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are an exciting province-wide (and provincially funded) initiative that is improving how primary care is being delivered.  PCNs are a key part of the future direction of Alberta Health Services.  PCNs have to achieve a number of provincial objectives, but each is its own stand-alone business and works to address the provincial initiatives by doing what is most needed locally.
