The Wild Rose Medical Centre is now accepting VISA and MASTERCARD credit cards in addition to Debit cards and cash to cover any Third Party invoices for medical services NOT covered by Alberta Health Care.

We hope that this will make payments for services easier for our patients.

As of March 31st there will be changes to the way Family Physicians across the province are able to bill for services they provide to patients.  These changes are the result of Provincial Government cuts to Health Care.  One of these include Seniors Driver’s Medicals.

Driver’s Medicals for seniors over 74.5 years of age, will no longer be paid for by the Government.

If you are having a birthday in the next 6 months please CALL NOW to book your Driver’s Medical before they are no longer covered.  We are happy to help you get this important medical completed before March 31st.

The Wild Rose Medical Centre is so very excited to have Dr. Slusar back from her Educational Leave.  Dr. Slusar spent 6 months away from our community taking training in Obstetrical Surgery.  She is now able to provide Caesarian Sections for Obstetrical patients who require this type of medical service.

Thank you to Dr. Michelle Crook who covered for Dr. Slusar’s patients while she was away.

The weather outside may be frightful, but thanks to the Olds High School our walls are certainly more delightful!

Thank you to the art students at Olds High for allowing us to display some of their recent work.  We are so appreciative of this opportunity to showcase our talented students.

We really appreciate your hard work and are thrilled to help show it to our patient community.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
