EWPCN Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

The EWPCN is committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for everyone – staff, patients, and the communities it serves. The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Priority Initiative represents a significant step toward embedding EDI principles across all aspects of the organization. This initiative will support the development of an organization-wide EDI strategy aimed at fostering a supportive workplace for staff, improving access to care for underserved populations, and ensuring EDI principles guide all policies. Through this work, the EWPCN is building a stronger, more inclusive future.

EWPCN Land Acknowledgement

The Edmonton West Primary Care Network has the privilege of working and serving on Treaty 6 territory and Metis Nation of Alberta region 4, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and travelling route to the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux. The EWPCN acknowledges the deep-rooted health disparities faced by Indigenous communities and commit to providing culturally safe, trauma-informed care that honors Indigenous knowledge and healing practices. The EWPCN will work to reduce health inequities and improve access to high-quality, culturally respectful care. The EWPCN encourages its colleagues and community to join in this journey to create a healthcare system that truly serves and respects all Indigenous peoples.

Patient's Medical Home

A Medical Home is a patient-centered hub for accessible care at every stage of life. It emphasizes prevention, chronic disease management, and seamless connections to broader health services. Supported by a team of professionals, it fosters strong relationships between patients, family physicians, and the community. Through this integrated approach, your healthcare team provides routine screenings, continuous care, and support for overall health and well-being.

Through your medical home, your health care team:

  • Provides earlier detection of disease through routine screening and testing
  • Manages chronic disease
  • Offers continuous care through your family physician with links to specialist, hospital procedures and treatments
  • Improves access to care when you need it
