Hello.  It’s May Long Weekend time.  Enjoy the extra day away from routine to rest, and relax.  Do something you love, enjoy a visit with a friend, perhaps purchase some spring flowers or tackle cleaning out a closet.  Spring is a time to refresh and renew our lives.  Seize the day, and get a jump on summer!

The Wild Rose Medical Centre will be closed on Monday May 20, 2019 and will reopen with regular business hours on Tuesday May 21, 2019.

Enjoy the long weekend, see you on Tuesday!

The Clinical staff at the Wild Rose Medical Centre are awesome!

Whether they are taking your blood pressure, helping with a procedure or booking a needed test, our Clinical staff are here to help you with your medical care.

For Nurse’s week  we take time to recognize these ladies and say a HUGE Thank You to Shelley, Allison, Brook-lynne, Brittany, Maisie, Valdene, Kathy, Jacquie and Jen.

It’s Administrative Professionals Week!

The Wild Rose Medical Centre is taking this opportunity to extend a huge Thank You to the Administration staff who  work so hard to keep our clinic so well organized in provision of medical services.  With 18 physicians and 21 staff it is a large responsibility and everyone has a role to play in achieving success for our patient’s health care.

Thank you to Angela, Barb, Brenda, Carol, Darcelle, Joyce, Kim, Lorraine, Mary,  Rhonda, Sherry and Tina.

The Wild Rose Medical Centre will be closed on Good Friday, April 19, 2019 in recognition of the Easter Holiday.  The Wild Rose Medical Centre will re-open for regular business on Monday April 22, 2019.

Enjoy the weekend with family and friends.  Enjoy our spring weather, it’s such a nice change from the long cold winter weather!  Happy Spring!

The Wild Rose Medical Centre is wearing green today.

Today, we take time to recognize the selfless organ donation made by Logan Boulet of the Humbolt Broncos almost a year ago this weekend.

Organ donation is a personal decision and is easy to do.  Talk with your loved ones, and contact MyHealth.Alberta.ca and follow the prompts.

Organ donation authorization is quick and easy, and provides an incredible increase in  quality of life to those in need.

The Wild Rose Medical Centre is very honoured to be formally recognized by the Alberta College of Family Physicians for the most outstanding Family Medicine practice throughout the province of Alberta for the 2018-2019 year.

The award is presented for excellence and leadership in patient and community care while exhibiting the principles of the Patients Medical Home model of care.  In the past eight years the Wild Rose Medical Centre has grown from  six physicians to 18, has expanded services and support to the Olds Hospital, has expanded service and coverage for the Obstetrics program in Olds, has increased services for senior’s care with on site medical services at each of the three seniors’ homes in Olds, and has regular on site medical service delivery at Olds College for students and staff.  With support from the Peaks to Prairies Primary Care Network additional programs including chronic disease management, mental health services, social work, exercise programs and provision for dedicated specialized staff have enabled advanced patient programs like INR management and proactive and opportunistic screening for  prevention and identification of medical concerns.

As Dr. Turner indicated in the press, “We really appreciate the support we’ve received from our Primary Care Network, and the resources they have brought”.
