Serving Central Alberta from Red Deer
Red Deer functions as central Alberta's healthcare hub. Patients from Sylvan Lake (often weekend cabin residents), Innisfail, Lacombe, Blackfalds, Penhold, Bowden, Olds, Rocky Mountain House, Stettler, and Ponoka frequently use Red Deer-based services. TelePlusCare extends that reach further: rather than driving an hour into Red Deer for a refill, patients in these surrounding communities can book a virtual visit and fill their prescription at their nearest local pharmacy — including in towns where the pharmacy is the only healthcare-adjacent business open after 5pm.
- Sylvan Lake — cottage owners and year-round residents
- Innisfail, Bowden, Olds — agricultural communities
- Lacombe, Blackfalds, Penhold — Red Deer commuter belt
- Rocky Mountain House, Stettler, Ponoka — outlying towns
Why Red Deer Patients Choose TelePlusCare
Red Deer's healthcare system has been under sustained pressure, with many local family practices closed to new patients. Walk-in clinic queues at the city's downtown clinics regularly exceed two hours. TelePlusCare gives Red Deer residents an alternative — same-day virtual appointments with a real Alberta-licensed physician, evenings and weekends included. We're particularly popular with Red Deer's working families, oilfield service workers commuting north, and seniors looking for stable refill care.

- Same-day appointments seven days a week
- AHCIP-billed for Alberta PHN holders
- 100% CPSA-registered Alberta physicians
