Additional Details:
The Alex is a beacon of hope for Calgary’s most vulnerable citizens, offering wrap-around health care, housing, social, and wellness programs. With a patient and client-centered approach, we envision a community where every individual is valued and empowered to thrive. Our mission is to improve quality of life through accessible and integrated health, housing, and social services.
We are seeking experienced, empathetic physicians to provide full scope, trauma-informed medical care to patients who are often more complex in terms of physical and psychosocial challenges, and face greater barriers to care than those in a fee-for-service family practice. Our ARP model of reimbursement, in conjunction with longer appointment times, allows our physicians to tackle tough health and social issues, guiding individuals on their journey from crisis to wellness, and from challenge to change.
