Over 20 years ago Seven Oaks General Hospital created the Wellness Institute to reduce the risk of, and to help patients manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart, lung and kidney disease with diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle change.
Since then, Seven Oaks has become Western Canada’s largest kidney health centre, an effective provider of Emergency medical services to the capital region, and an innovator in connecting acute care with community care including two family medicine clinics on site.
Seven Oaks’ drive to change the way healthcare is delivered has led to innovation in Emergency Department flow and services, a focus on preventing kidney failure and treatment of more kidney patients in their own homes, as well as innovation on research to identify and treat chronic disease sooner, to prevent hospitalization.
