Supporting chronic disease management

Our Primary Care Registered Nurses (PCRNs) play a key role in chronic disease management on top of providing exceptional patient care.

Using a patient-centred approach, our PCRNs provide guidance, education, and assessments for various conditions, including:

• Smoking cessation
• Weight management
• Diabetes
• Heart health
• And more

This care could also include referrals to other specialized programs, like our Dietitian Program or the Alberta Lung Cancer Screening Program, where necessary. Through this important work, our PCRNs empower patients to make lifestyle changes that help them live healthier lives.
