Risk Reduction Program

The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) Risk Reduction Program offers specialized support for clients with chronic and/or complex health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, weight control and high cholesterol.
The goal of the program is to help you remain as independent as you can be.
There is no charge for participating in the program but a referral from your family physician is required.

In discussions with your family doctor, you may be referred to the Camrose PCN Risk Reduction Program where a team of healthcare providers will address concerns regarding your chronic health condition(s) including risk factors associated with pre-diabetes and/or heart disease.
Your initial visit will take approximately 2 hours. Follow up visits may take up to 1 hour per visit. The Camrose PCN will call you to arrange for your initial and follow up appointment(s).
After your initial assessment, you will work together with the team to develop a care plan unique to you. The team will also discuss the results of your assessment, recommendations and results with your family doctor.

The Camrose PCN Risk Reduction Program team consists of a registered nurse, pharmacist and dietitian.
Additional healthcare and community providers may be consulted and referred to when needed.>
Throughout your participation in the program your ongoing care will continue to be provided by your family doctor.

The Camrose PCN Risk Reduction Program is offered at the Camrose PCN, main floor of the Edgeworth Centre, 4512 53 Street, Room 1110.
Hours of operation are Monday to Wednesday from 8:30 am to 4:15 pm.
