Wolf Creek PCN

Wolf Creek PCN Welcome to the Wolf Creek PCN! We are part of your Patient Medical Home! PCNs develop solutions to meet the needs of the local community and their health issues.

Primary Care Networks (PCNs) bring local physicians and other health care professionals together to provide comprehensive patient care to Albertans. PCNs are comprised of groups of family physicians working with other health care professionals such as nurse practitioners, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, exercise specialist, behavioral health consultants, and mental health professionals. PCNs are created through an agreement between physicians and Alberta Health Services. Please note that PCNs are not a governing body to physicians; the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta regulates the practice of medicine in Alberta. There are 40 PCNs operating throughout Alberta with more than 3,800 family physicians, and more than 1,400 other health practitioners. At any given time, there are hundreds of PCN family doctors across Alberta accepting new patients. Research shows that patients who regularly visit a family doctor are healthier and live longer. The Wolf Creek PCN supports the Central Alberta communities of Bentley, Delburne, Innisfail, Lacombe, Ponoka, Rimbey, and Sylvan Lake.

🎃 When the tricks of Halloween fade, there's a treat on the other side: an extra hour of sleep.

If time changes usually throw you off, try these tips to help you adjust:

💤 adopt a calming ritual before bed and limit screen time
💤 ease in by gradually shifting your sleep schedule
💤 if you need to take a nap, keep it short and sweet
💤 spend time outdoors to enjoy natural light
💤 keep a consistent exercise routine
💤 skip caffeine when it gets close to bedtime

If you typically have trouble falling asleep, talk to your primary care provider.

It’s normal to have questions about your body, mind and health and talking to your primary care provider or care team is a safe place to start. 💛

From sleep and stress to relationships and mental health, nothing is off-limits. People who play a role in their own care make better, more informed choices and stay healthier.

Your primary care team is here to listen, not judge. 👉 Share this with a teen or young adult in your life who might need the reminder that it’s okay to ask for help.

Misinformation about mental health can stop people from reaching out for support. Let’s set the record straight.💙

Support looks different for everyone. If you or someone you love is struggling, talk to your primary care provider. They can connect you with the right resources, including a referral to a mental health supports available through our and other programs.

Taking that first step can make a difference.

This October, we’re recognizing 🧠

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects people across all backgrounds, influencing attention, impulse control and emotional regulation.

💛 Awareness helps reduce stigma and opens the door to effective care. Behavioural strategies, parent training, structured environments and medical support can all play a role in helping youth thrive.

If you have questions about ADHD symptoms or need support, reach out to your primary care practitioner or PCN health team. We can help guide you to next steps and connect you with local resources.

🔎 What is an invisible disability?

The stranger next to you might look completely fine, but in reality could be managing a mental, physical or neurological condition that impacts their quality of life, like:

• chronic pain or fatigue
• mental health conditions like anxiety or depression
• learning differences
• hearing or vision loss
• autoimmune disorder

🩵 This Invisible Disability Awareness Week, remember to always conduct yourself with kindness — you never know what others are struggling with.

October 18 is World Menopause Day. 💜

Menopause is a natural part of life, yet it’s still surrounded by silence and stigma. More than half the population will experience it and for many, symptoms can have a major impact on daily life.

Life happens, we get it.

But when appointments are missed without notice, it creates a ripple effect. It can disrupt clinic flow, delay care for others and make it harder for teams to keep things running smoothly.

To cancel or reschedule an appointment, contact the clinic or practitioner you’re booked with as soon as possible. Your communication helps us provide timely care and support the health of our community.
