At Crowfoot Village Family Practice (CVFP) we are committed to providing a "Medical Home" for our patients - this means we deliver comprehensive care for newborn to geriatric patients with a team-based approach that includes physicians, registered nurses, a pharmacist, psychologist, respiratory and diabetic educators, a dietitian and a nurse practitioner all working on-site in a collaborative and efficient model.

CVFP adopted a comprehensive care model in 1999 - this includes the use of an Electronic Medical Record, a multidisciplinary health team with a strong role for Registered nurses, 24/7 access to health services for our patients, measurement of health outcomes and an alternate payment method.

Our practice receives a monthly fee from Alberta Health and Wellness to provide our patients with primary care services. To be part of the practice our patients enroll by completing a form which is sent to Alberta Health and Wellness to attached your Personal Health Number to our clinic.

Since the adoption of the comprehensive care model in 1999 we have been extremely successful in Alberta. A study of 10,300 Crowfoot Patients completed by the Health Quality Council of Alberta in 2009 found that our patients access the emergency department 13% less than the average Albertan and are admitted to hospital 17% less!
