South Calgary Primary Care Network Our Primary Care Network helps physicians collaborate with other providers to enhance care.

Our programming is developed and delivered in partnership with family doctors and our wellness partners in the community.

In addition, they receive better chronic disease care, make fewer visits to the emergency room and are hospitalized less often.

February is Heart Health Month ❤️

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Canada—but many risk factors can be prevented or managed with early action.

Prevention starts with awareness. Take a moment to check in on your heart health and connect with your primary care team. 🩺

Your primary care provider can help you take a proactive approach to heart and vascular health. Screening early, identifying risk factors, and intervening quickly make a meaningful difference.

Eating Disorders Awareness Week (Feb. 1–7) is a time to deepen understanding, reduce stigma, and remind us that help and resources available. Melissa Fonseka, Registered Psychologist with SCPCN, reflects on the importance of compassionate, team-based care:

“As a mental health therapist working in team-based care, I support individuals in exploring their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. This often involves unpacking internalized beliefs, building emotion regulation skills, and exploring identity, shame, and self-compassion. Collaborating with dietitians and other health professionals strengthens a patient’s circle of care, helping build readiness for change and alignment in treatment goals.”

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions—and recovery is possible with the right support. If you or someone you care about is struggling, talk to your primary care provider about available supports.

Eating Disorders Awareness Week is Feb. 1–7 💜 Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses — and they’re about much more than food. They’re shaped by genetics, brain chemistry, environment, and life experiences, and they can affect anyone, at any age or income level.

As SCPCN Registered Dietitian Nadia Rybalka shares, nutrition care in eating disorder recovery is about building trust, fostering safety, and restoring connection. "Primary Care is often where the earliest signs of disordered eating can appear, and dietitians play a vital role in offering compassionate, timely support so people feel seen and supported before symptoms escalate."

Working alongside physicians, mental health providers, and a patient’s broader care team, dietitians help ensure no one has to navigate recovery alone. Early, accessible, and collaborative care can make a meaningful difference — and Eating Disorders Awareness Week is a powerful reminder of why this work matters.
