1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, but when detected early, it’s highly treatable.

Know the facts:

- Men over 50 should talk to their doctor about testing
- Those with a family history may need earlier screening
-Watch for changes in urination or unexplained pain

A simple conversation with your healthcare provider can make a big difference.

Nearly 8 million Canadians are affected by high blood pressure, according to , but better monitoring can change that.

At our PCN, we're proud to help connect people with 24-hour blood pressure monitoring at no cost to patients.

What is 24-hour blood pressure monitoring? A portable device measures your blood pressure at regular intervals — even while you sleep. This gives your healthcare provider a more complete picture of your blood pressure throughout your daily routine.

✅ Helps rule out “white coat syndrome” when blood pressure is high in a clinical setting but normal at home
✅ Tracks medication’s effect on blood pressure so your provider can adjust your dosage or timing
✅ Supports accurate diagnosis and timely treatment

With streamlined referrals, it’s easier for the doctors in our membership to get you started.

A single referral form shows multiple locations, making it easier for you and your doctor to choose what works for you

The CWC PCN has partnered with multiple providers to offer a single referral form. This means your doctor can easily refer you to a location in Calgary that suits your needs. Talk to your family doctor to learn more.

The earlier cancer is found, the better the outcome.

Three cancers that often go undetected until later stages include ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. This month, we’ll share local tools, resources, and practical tips to help you and your loved ones take charge of your health. Awareness is the first step.

Ovarian cancer is often called the "silent" cancer because symptoms can be vague and easy to miss.

Common symptoms to watch for:
- Persistent bloating or abdominal discomfort
- Changes in appetite or feeling full quickly
- Unexplained fatigue
- Frequent or urgent urination

If you notice these symptoms lasting more than a few weeks, don’t ignore them; talk to your healthcare provider.

Your health matters. If something doesn’t feel right, reach out to your family doctor.

💜 Let’s break the silence on ovarian cancer — share this post to help raise awareness!

From the first steps after surgery to the joy of living pain-free, physiotherapists see transformation every day.

We’re celebrating the dedicated physiotherapists who help our patients move better, recover faster, and live healthier lives. Their expertise and compassion play an essential role in supporting our community’s health and well-being.

Happy World Physiotherapy Day!

To mark the occasion, we asked Allison Simpson from our physiotherapy team: “What do you think is the most rewarding aspect of your job?”

“Teaching people how to control their health through education, movement and awareness is incredibly empowering. It is not just about providing treatment — it's about equipping them with the knowledge and tools for lifelong well-being.”

Her answer speaks volumes and highlights the heart of what it means to be a physiotherapist and why their work truly matters.

Thank you to our physiotherapists for the incredible difference you make. Your dedication, skill, and empathy not only transform physical health but also bring confidence and hope to those you care for.
