The Heart of Family Medicine
Celebrating Trusted Relationships Through Stories
The Alberta College of Family Physicians created the Heart of Family Medicine campaign to celebrate the trusted relationships between patients and family physicians and does so through a collection of stories from patients and physicians. It showcases the outstanding contributions made by family doctors to improve the health and well-being of their patients, their communities, and Alberta as a whole.
Family medicine is one of the unique medical specialties where family doctors can provide care to you at every life stage from the time you are born, to the birth of your kids, to helping you care for your parents. Family doctors are with you every step of the way, standing by your side.
