Why?

Having a Family Physician to care for you when you are ill provides continuity of care and local knowledge when you need someone to care for you. The physicians at the Wild Rose Medical Centre keep your medical chart confidential, and it is only accessible to physicians of the Wild Rose Medical Centre who may care for you, either through an appointment at one of the clinics in town, or at the Olds Hospital.  Having a Medical Home provides patients with better care and is supported by the College of Family Physicians of Canada.
