Taken from the Leduc/Wetaskawin “The Country Market” Publication
Dedicated health care provider secured for Thorsby and Warburg
Submitted by the Primary Care Network
The answer to providing health care needs in the under-serviced communities of Thorsby and Warburg has been found. A
Nurse Practitioner (NP) has been hired by the Leduc Beaumont Devon Primary Care Network (LBD PCN) to deliver primary
care support to those living in Thorsby, Warburg and surrounding areas.
Michelle Williams is trained as a family/all ages Nurse Practitioner and has been practicing as a Registered Nurse (RN) for
20 years prior to obtaining her Nurse Practitioner graduate degree. She has spent most of her career in rural healthcare in
the community of Whitecourt and surrounding areas working in the emergency department, acute care, labour and deliv-
ery, and public health settings. Michelle previously worked at the McLeod River Primary Care Network where she developed
a palliative care program. Some of you may have already met Michelle through her most recent experience as a Palliative
Nurse Consultant seeing patients in the communities of Warburg, Thorsby, Calmar, Devon, Leduc and Beaumont, as well as
in the local rural hospitals.
A Nurse Practitioner is a registered nurse with additional graduate education and training in advanced clinical practice.
They conduct comprehensive health assessments, diagnose health conditions and treat and manage acute and chronic ill-
ness within a holistic model of care. NP’s order and interpret screening and diagnostic tests, perform procedures, and pre-
scribe medications (no restrictions) and therapeutic interventions and can refer to specialists.
Nurse Practitioners act as primary care providers within their stream of practice. They work independently across the spec-
trum of health services, such as acute care, primary care, community health, long-term care, specialty areas of health and
emergency care. They work collaboratively with physician’s and other health care professionals to provide high-quality, pa-
tient-centered care. Nurse practitioners use a holistic approach to health care, focusing not only on medical issues or prob-
lems, but also on patient/family-centered care including the psychosocial and functional aspects of life.
In short, a nurse practitioner can provide the same level of care that a family physician can.
“The Thorsby/Warburg Doctor Attraction/Retention Committee is very grateful to have partnered with the Leduc Beau-
mont Devon Primary Care Network and many other community partners to bring a Nurse Practitioner to our communities,”
said Shawna Ofstie, committee Chair and Black Gold School Division Trustee-County West. “Thorsby has been without a phy-
sician with January 1971 and Warburg’s last doctor closed his practice in the 1960’s, leaving our communities to travel to
nearby towns or cities to receive care. This has left many unattached patients in the area for several reasons including trans-
portation issues.”
The LBC PCN is working to secure suitable space for the NP to open clinics in both Thorsby and Warburg and anticipates
that Michelle will be able to start seeing patients by late February.
Miscellaneous support for the two clinics will be funded by the communities while funding for the nurse practitioner posi-
tion was secured through a grant provided by the Government of Alberta through the Nurse Practitioner Support Program.
“A Nurse Practitioner in Thorsby & Warburg is a long-awaited solution to provide continuity of care to our families who
need it most by eliminating barriers,” said Ofstie. “After learning more about the role of “Nurse Practitioners, it is apparent
that this is the best solution to serving the healthcare needs and providing the care the residents of our rural communities
deserve.”

fested trees prior to mid-June, when mature beetles begin to emerge and fly to new trees. Please check the trees on your property for “boring dust”,
pitch tube (resin that pine trees produce to repel the beetle) and blue stain fungi. Any infested trees must be removed by May 1, 2020. Infested bark
should be chipped, burned or buried to ensure adults and larvae are destroyed.
