About the Company

Medicentres Canada

Runs family medicine and walk-in clinics

Medicentres Canada runs community medical clinics for individuals and families across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Patients visit family physicians through scheduled appointments or walk-in care, while specialists work with those doctors on more focused medical concerns. The clinics combine ongoing family medicine with treatment for everyday illnesses and injuries, giving patients access to routine medical care outside a hospital setting. Alongside insured visits, the business conducts medical examinations and other uninsured services that patients pay for separately. Founded in 1979, Medicentres is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta.
