Dr. Turner would like to let his patients know that he has accepted a new medical leadership position with Alberta Health Services, as Associate Chief Medical Information Officer for Central Zone.

Dr. Turner will be taking a six month leave of absence from his clinic practice, from April 1st to September 30th, 2018.  This is to allow him to complete some previous work for Alberta Health Services, and get started on the work needed to help bring computerized medical records into all of the province’s hospitals.  Some of this work will include creating new ways for patients to access their medical information online, when they require services from AHS facilities and programs.

Dr. Turner plans to return to clinical work starting October 1st, 2018.

Dr. Turner will have 2 locum doctors covering while he is away.  Dr. Dalynne Peters will be covering from April 1  through June 30, and Dr. Richard Chan will be covering from July 1 through September 30, 2018.  They will have access to your medical information and can assist you with your concerns while I am away.  If these physicians are unavailable there are other opportunities to see other physicians at our clinic.

Thank you for your understanding.

Dr. Steven L. Turner. B. SC., MD, FCFP.
