Welcome to the Heart of Family Medicine
The Heart of Family Medicine celebrates the trusted relationships between patients and family physicians through their stories. 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.
Read about, watch, or listen to stories from across the province from varying points of view.
You’ll understand why at the heart of family medicine are the people—you, your family doctors, and the teams around you providing whole person continuing care.

Stories
Stories are submitted from patients across the province about their family doctors through our Family Docs Rock program.
Their stories are heart-felt, funny, and endearing and show how family doctors can make a difference in patients lives from life-saving efforts, multi-generational care, or for simply listening.
Thank you for your stories and spirit.
