Administrators
My journey in healthcare began in 2010 as a Medical Office Assistant in a small Northern Alberta community.
Patient care and advocacy is a true passion I have been privileged to foster over the past 14 years through my positions within the primary care system. It is with great anticipation and excitement that I have been given the opportunity to play a vital role in one of the premier Nurse Practitioner Clinics in Alberta.
I look forward to being a part of a solution to the Healthcare Crisis that our province faces and witnessing firsthand the difference that comprehensive accessible healthcare makes in the lives of our patients.
I have a strong background in business development, with expertise in team dynamics, leadership, and customer relationship management.
I am deeply passionate about fostering exceptional experiences for both our patients and our team.
What excites me most is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the healthcare industry in Canada, driving positive change in how high-quality care is delivered.

"I’m lucky to have met and been accepted by Karen Parker. She is an incredible provider. I have received exceptional care from our first meet and greet. I’m relieved and hopefully for the future under her care. The entire team is fantastic. I feel the value is priceless for the amount they charge for a year of private care. I have already felt more proactive appointments and testing has been set up for my concerns in the last three months, then anyone else has looked into or booked in the last 5 years. Private care is the way to go, I feel supported and looking forward to years of great health in my future. Carol Scott "
