Horizon Family Medicine

Horizon Family Medicine currently has 16 family physicians serving patients all across Central Alberta. 
 
Lifestyle and family/medical career balance are core elements of the foundation for the operation of the clinic. Horizon has physicians providing the full spectrum of care, including participation in the Red Deer area’s largest in-clinic low-risk obstetrics group, hospital patient coverage, long term care, cosmetic medicine, podiatry, sports medicine, pain medicine as well as hospitalist.  Our lifestyle prioritization also means that we have physicians who choose to work only during clinic hours, and several physicians who work part-time in order to achieve their desired work/life balance. The clinic does provide practice coverage with no associated overhead costs during vacations, maternity leaves or other periods of absence.
 
The clinic is professionally managed allowing physicians to exclusively focus on practicing medicine and not worry about managing the business, staffing etc. External billings, such as hospital revenue, are also not part of the clinic overhead expense allowing physicians greater overall financial returns.
 
Horizon has implemented a fully integrated EMR, Med Access, as well as an online patient portal, Pomelo Health. We currently have over 10,000 paneled patients enrolled in the portal which has facilitated easier workflow and excellent returns for both the patient and physician. The portal includes online appointment booking, e-appointment reminders as well as option for e-messaging patient requisitions, lab results etc.
 
In summer 2021, Horizon moved to a new multi-disciplinary health care centre conveniently located off Hwy#2 in Red Deer. Our new clinic features 41 exam rooms, 2 large procedure rooms, cosmetic clinic, conference board room and staff fitness centre. Other building tenants include onsite pharmacy, ultrasound imaging (CAMIS), dentistry, physiotherapy, infusion clinic and sleep clinic.
