Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are not-for-profit organizations supported by an agreement between the Alberta Medical Association (AMA), Alberta Health (AH) and Alberta Health Services (AHS). PCNs are collaborations between local physician groups and AHS Zones to enhance comprehensive primary care services in a geographic area.
The PCN is a high profile entity, which is a collaboration between local physician groups and AHS Zones to provide primary care services through a multidisciplinary team based approach. The Drayton Valley PCN (DVPCN) became operational in 2014. The PCN currently employs 14 staff to assist 18 physicians in 3 clinics to deliver targeted primary health care services for Drayton Valley and its surrounding communities.
