Following productive meetings between AHS, the Palliser Primary Care Network (PCN) and local physicians, we are pleased to confirm that the Medicine Hat Family Medicine Maternity Clinic (FMMC) will continue to see patients until at least July 2021.
According to a release from Alberta Health Services, FMMC physicians, AHS and the PCN will continue to work together to explore options, such as location, beyond that date.
“We have heard significant concern from the community about the impact of losing this clinic,” says Dr. Gerry Prince, FMMC lead physician. “We are hopeful that this extension will allow us time to explore options that ensure a sustainable obstetric service into the future.”
“Obstetrical support will continue to be available for expectant mothers,” says Dr. Michael Auld, Interim South Zone Medical Director. “AHS will work with the PCN and primary care physicians as we develop and build a collaborative future delivery model for obstetrical services in Medicine Hat.”
