Covenant Health is seeking Family Physicians with an interest in Long-Term Care (LTC) to join the medical team at Youville Home Continuing Care Community in St. Albert. This opportunity is well suited for physicians who maintain an existing community-based practice and wish to expand their scope into LTC, as well as physicians who prefer to focus their practice exclusively within the Long-Term Care setting.
Physicians will have the opportunity to provide comprehensive, relationship-centred care to residents while enjoying continuity of care, a stable patient panel, and the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact on the lives of seniors and their families.
Our LTC site offers a highly supportive environment with strong interdisciplinary collaboration, predictable scheduling, and streamlined workflows. Whether integrated with an existing community practice or pursued as a dedicated Long-Term Care role, this opportunity provides physicians with the ability to deliver meaningful resident-centred care in a stable and rewarding practice environment.
