Continuity over convenience
You keep the same care lead wherever possible. We'd rather delay a booking by two days than hand you to a stranger.
About MediCore
A clinician-owned practice, not a chain
Sixteen years of building the kind of clinic our own founders wanted to send their families to.
Our purpose
We exist to shorten the distance between a question and an answer
Most people don't struggle to find healthcare — they struggle with the gaps between it. The referral that takes eleven weeks. The scan whose result nobody explains. The specialist who hasn't read the file.
MediCore was organised around closing those gaps. We hold a deliberately narrow set of services so that each one is properly staffed, properly equipped, and genuinely available when a clinician decides you need it.
Our mission
Coordinated, unhurried care where every patient leaves knowing the next step.
Our vision
A clinic model that Alberta communities can rely on for decades, not quarters.

Calgary & Airdrie, with a shared clinical record
What guides us
Four commitments we hold ourselves to
These aren't posters in the waiting room — each one maps to something measurable in how we run the clinic.
Plain language, always
Every report we hand over is accompanied by an explanation you can repeat to your family without a dictionary.
Honest limits
If something falls outside our scope we say so immediately and help you find the right place, rather than stretching.
Time as a clinical tool
Standard consultations are 25 minutes and first visits are 45. Rushed appointments produce missed diagnoses.

Our history
How the practice grew
Two rooms on Harbourvale Road
Dr. Ilana Weiss and Dr. Marcus Bell open a two-room family practice with a single shared reception desk.
Imaging comes in-house
The first X-ray suite is installed after a year of watching patients wait months for external appointments.
Cardiology clinics begin
Visiting cardiologists start weekly sessions, backed by on-site ECG and Holter monitoring.
Maternal health program launches
Prenatal and postpartum care is brought together into one continuous pathway with named midwifery support.
Airdrie site opens
A second location opens on a shared clinical record, extending urgent care hours across both communities.
