Calgary West Central Primary Care Network

Building healthier communities: Today, tomorrow, together. Family doctors who join as a member of CWC PCN do so with their patients in mind.

Patients of members can access a range of programs and services offered through our team of healthcare professionals (including nurses, social workers and mental health professionals). Research shows that people who have a relationship with their family doctor are healthier, live longer and are hospitalized less. We are here to help build strong doctor-patient relationships through innovation, collaboration, compassion, accountability and respect. Read our community guidelines: https://bit.ly/39UUzNy

Winter is officially here. ❄️

As temperatures drop and sidewalks get icy, a few small precautions can help you stay safe and healthy all season long:

• Dress warmly: wear layers, insulated footwear, and weather-appropriate outerwear.
• Prevent slips and falls: take your time on icy sidewalks and keep walkways clear.
• Stay active indoors: even short walks or stretches can help with energy and mood.
• Eat well and stay hydrated: warm meals and water are just as important in winter.
• Check in on others: a quick call or visit can make a big difference for someone alone.

Let’s take care of ourselves and one another as we head into the colder months.

Winter can be wonderful… and overwhelming. Between shorter days and endless to-do lists, it’s easy to forget about your mental health. Take time to pause and recharge. You deserve it.

To make it fun, check out this Holiday Stress Relief Bingo! It’s packed with simple ways to detach, unwind, and find joy this season.

Our PCN is here to support your well-being with mental health resources, workshops, and care options to help you manage stress year-round. Visit https://hubs.ly/Q03YLm3C0

Let’s make this winter about balance, not burnout. ❄️

The holidays can make getting the care you need feel stressful, due to reduced hours or closures. If you need support, there are still options.

Our PCN’s clinic, the Primary Care Centre, offers an Access Appointment Service every day of the year for people:

• Whose doctor is a member of our PCN
• Who live in our area and don’t have a family doctor

If your regular doctor’s office is closed, you can call Health Link at 811 for guidance and a referral if appropriate.

The Primary Care Centre is open daily from 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. on weekends and holidays. (Upcoming holiday dates include Christmas Day on Thursday, Dec. 25, Boxing Day on Friday, Dec. 26, and New Year’s Day on Thursday, Jan. 1.)

Thank you to everyone who works through the holidays, including our Primary Care Centre team. We hope you have a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season.

The holidays can be joyful, but they can also feel lonely for some.

If you’re finding this season tough, you’re not alone. We spoke with Social Worker Heather Hooge with our team, who shared these helpful tips for staying connected and taking care of yourself during the holidays:

1. Get involved: Join events at your local community centre
2. Reach out: Make cards for seniors, wish neighbours well, or offer to help someone put up lights or shovel their driveway.
3. Find a charity: Volunteer or donate to a charity you care about (Check out https://hubs.ly/Q03WJd4T0 to explore local opportunities.)
4. Find community: Join a group like a book club or choir
5. Share meals: Attend or volunteer at community holiday dinners (call 211 for available options)
6. Create traditions: Make a special meal or enjoy a meaningful walk
7. Show kindness: Practice self-compassion and healthy coping strategies
8. Seek support: Access resources like Community Connect YYC or crisis lines 24 hours a day (The Distress Centre Calgary can be reached at 403-266-HELP (4357).)

Let’s check in on one another this season and make sure no one feels alone. 💛

Did you know approximately one in four (27 per cent of Canadians) aged 15 and older, about eight million people, reported having one or more disabilities in 2022?

Not all disabilities are visible. The person next to you could be living with a condition that affects their daily life, like:

• Chronic pain or fatigue
• Anxiety or depression
• Learning differences
• Hearing or vision loss
• Autoimmune disorders

Invisible or visible, every person deserves understanding, respect, and support.

If you live with a disability, your family doctor and PCN team, including social workers, psychologists, and other health professionals at our PCN, can help you access the care and resources you need.

We’re proud to offer programs and services that support:

• Accessible appointments and facilities
• Inclusive communication and resources
• Collaboration with community partners to address barriers

Today, and every day, choose kindness. You never know what someone else may be carrying. 💙

Food is a central part of many holiday gatherings and traditions; it brings us happiness and comfort, and most importantly, it brings us together.

However, events centered around food may also bring feelings of guilt. Here are some strategies that may help you focus on joy and connection instead of unwanted emotions when gathering with your loved ones this holiday season.

🍴Slow down and take the time to enjoy your food.
🍴 Listen to your body and notice your hunger and fullness cues.
🍴 Instead of making rules about foods you can or cannot have, give yourself permission to enjoy smaller portions and give yourself time to savour each bite.

When required, a registered dietitian can help you learn about these strategies and implement them in a way that fits your lifestyle and health goals. Meeting with a PCN dietitian is free of charge with a referral from your primary care provider. To learn more or explore our free workshops visit: https://hubs.ly/Q03VrVbg0

As we age, maintaining our balance becomes even more crucial. Not only does it help prevent falls, but it also boosts our overall confidence and mobility.

Our Physiotherapists recommend completing three daily exercises to keep you active and independent.

Strength and balance exercises for older adults:

✔️Single-leg stance: Stand in front of a counter or wall if you need help with balance. Lift one leg off the ground and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat three times per leg.
✔️Weight shift: Stand with your legs apart and feet parallel. Transfer your weight from one leg to the other. Repeat five times per leg.
✔️Sit to stand: Sit on a sturdy chair and fold your arms across your chest. With your feet slightly apart, lean forward so your shoulders are over your feet and stand up fully. Slowly return to sitting. Repeat 10 times. If needed, use your hands to push off the chair.

Try these safe and effective exercises at home to help you stay active or talk to your family doctor about classes available to you.

Stay safe and keep moving!
