Evidence based treatment plans for obesity have been developed by the interdisciplinary team. This may include but not limited to addressing exercise, depression, diet, medication adjustments, sleep or referral to specialists as needed, etc.
The Leduc Obesity Clinic – Weight Support Team includes a LBD PCN member Physician, Registered Nurse, Mental Health Professional, Registered Pharmacist, Registered Dietitian, Exercise Specialist and an Administrative Assistant.
Leduc Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
In response to the growing need to support cardiac patients in a local setting and in partnership with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, the Leduc Beaumont Devon Primary Care Network (LBD PCN) is also proud to announce the introduction of the Leduc Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.
This program will operate out of the LBD PCN office and the Leduc Recreation Centre (LRC). The program includes support from a LBD PCN member physician and the LBD PCN Exercise Specialist. Patients will also have access to the LBD PCN's Registered Dietitian. This program will help reduce fears about physical activity and may improve quality of life.
If you have experienced a recent cardiac event or procedure and think you would benefit from supervised exercise and heart health education, ask your LBD PCN family physician for a referral to the Leduc Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.
To access the Leduc Obesity Clinic or the Leduc Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, please ask your LBD PCN family physician for a referral.
