Looking for a family doctor? When we’re able to recruit new family doctors, they will take new patients off the wait list. Contact our front reception to be added to it.
If you need pregnancy care, call us to be connected with one of our obstetrical care physicians.
Physicians from our clinic participate in the ER on-call rotation at the Hinton Healthcare Centre.
Problems accessing a doctor
In the past several years Hinton has seen 5 doctors leave/retire, and 3 more doctors close their primary care practices. The supply of new family doctors is a trickle compared to the demand across Alberta.
Doctors at HMC are family physicians, who are responsible for comprehensive, longitudinal care of the patients in their practices (panels). We also keep the hospital running by providing ER, inpatient, obstetrics, anesthesia, chemotherapy clinic, and surgical assist services. Although HMC physicians are not responsible for unattached patients, we are trying our best to support access via our Walk-In Clinic. However, we cannot provide care for everyone who needs it.
If you want to help, please contact your local and/or provincial politicians. We also value your feedback - email: manager@hintonmedical.com
Privacy/Data/Online Tools
The privacy of your health information is very important to us, and we handle it following guidelines by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (OIPC) and the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA).
Please contact the clinic if you want to give someone beside yourself access to your chart information, including communications to/from the clinic (this does not apply to parents/guardians of minor children, or legal guardians of adult patients).
Your email address is only used for specified purposes to improve your care: appointment reminders, secure messages from your family doctor (or Walk-In Clinic doctor), or occasional clinic-wide communications (e.g. major changes to clinic services). Please ensure your email address, like your phone number(s) and emergency contact, are kept up to date on your clinic chart.
The clinic uses Med Access (by Telus) for most chart functions, and Ocean (by CognisantMD) for online booking and secure patient messaging. Some physicians and staff may also use other online/digital tools to improve your care, such as Alberta Netcare, Connect Care, and AI-assisted electronic scribes. Please ask if you have any questions about any of these tools.
