Services Offered

Behavioral Health

Psychiatric nurse care in primary clinic settings involves providing specialized mental health care to patients within the primary care setting. These skilled nurses work alongside primary care physicians to address the mental health needs of patients. Primary clinic psychiatric nurses play an important role in assessing, diagnosing, and managing mental health conditions. They provide comprehensive mental health screenings, evaluate symptoms, and develop treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. These plans may involve medication management, therapy recommendations, and referrals to mental health specialists if necessary. Additionally, psychiatric nurses in primary clinic settings offer education and support to patients and their families. They provide information on mental health conditions, help patients understand their treatment options, and offer guidance on self-care and coping strategies. By integrating mental health care into primary care settings, psychiatric nurses aim to provide holistic and accessible care. They contribute to early identification and intervention for mental health issues, reducing the stigma associated with seeking mental health support, and promoting overall well-being for patients.

Circumcision

Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin, a fold of skin that covers the tip of the penis. This procedure is typically performed for various reasons, including cultural, religious, and medical considerations. Some individuals may choose circumcision for cultural or religious traditions, while others may opt for the procedure based on potential health benefits.

From a medical perspective, circumcision has been associated with a reduced risk of certain conditions, such as urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and penile cancer. The procedure is usually performed during infancy, often within the first one to two weeks of life, although it can be done at other ages as well.

For information about infant circumcision, inquire during your office visits. Note that Alberta Health Care does not cover circumcisions; a fee applies. This service is exclusively available to patients who visited the clinic throughout their pregnancy.

Prenatal care is an essential aspect of ensuring a healthy pregnancy and a safe delivery for both the mother and the baby. In a primary care clinic setting, prenatal care plays a crucial role in monitoring and supporting the progress of pregnancy from conception to childbirth. Primary care clinics provide a supportive environment where healthcare professionals, typically including obstetricians, and nurses, work together to deliver comprehensive prenatal care. This care involves a series of regular check-ups and screenings to track the health of the mother and the development of the fetus. During prenatal visits, our healthcare providers monitor vital signs, perform physical examinations, and conduct tests to assess the well-being of both the mother and the baby. They offer guidance on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices to promote a healthy pregnancy. They also address any concerns the mother may have and offer advice on managing discomforts often experienced during pregnancy. In addition to monitoring the physical health of the mother and the baby, prenatal care in a primary care clinic setting focuses on emotional support as well. It provides a safe space for mothers to discuss their fears, anxieties, and emotional well-being, ensuring that their mental health is acknowledged and supported throughout the pregnancy journey. Overall, prenatal care in a primary care clinic setting aims to promote a healthy and positive pregnancy experience. By providing comprehensive medical expertise, emotional support, and guidance, primary care clinics play a pivotal role in delivering prenatal care, helping expectant mothers navigate the challenges and enjoy the transformative journey of pregnancy.

Women’s Health

Women’s health is a vital aspect of primary care practice, focusing on comprehensive healthcare for women throughout their lives. Primary care family physicians, and an in house obstetrician, play a crucial role in addressing women’s health needs. In primary care, practitioners aim to provide personalized and holistic care for women of all ages, from adolescence to menopause and beyond. They address a wide range of issues, including reproductive health, menstrual problems, contraception, pregnancy care, menopause management, and preventative screenings. Primary care providers work with women to promote overall well-being and disease prevention. They offer services such as regular check-ups, immunizations, screenings for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and osteoporosis, as well as counseling on lifestyle factors like nutrition, exercise, and mental health. Furthermore, primary care includes addressing common gynecological concerns, such as urinary tract infections, vaginal infections, and menstrual irregularities. Providers can also offer contraceptive counseling, helping women make informed decisions about birth control methods that align with their individual needs and preferences. Women’s health matters encompass not only the physical aspects but also mental and emotional well-being. Primary care providers can address mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, and mood disorders, providing appropriate evaluations and treatment options. Overall, through a comprehensive and patient-centered approach, primary care providers are instrumental in ensuring women receive the necessary medical care, guidance, and support for all aspects of their health throughout their lives.
