magenta health family physicians
Background
All family physicians at Magenta Health are highly trained and educated professionals who have dedicated their professional lives to caring for the health and well-being of members of their community. In general, each Magenta Health physician has had at least 10 years of post-secondary education wherein they were exposed to and trained in a wide variety of subjects, and provided care and treatment to patients of all ages, genders, and walks of life. Each physician has also gone through an internal vetting process to ensure the excellence of their care and bedside manner.
Accordingly, all Magenta Health physicians are fully qualified to provide primary care to men, women (including expectant mothers), seniors, children, and infants. Where appropriate, referrals are made to outside physicians who have specialized in certain medical issues or procedures.
our organizational principles
As an organization, we believe in and promote equality and respect for all. Our physicians, staff, and patients come from a diverse range of backgrounds spanning cultural and ethnic origin, social-economic status, sexual orientation, and other aspects of identity.
Consequently, we do not assign patients to physicians taking into account factors such as age, ethnicity, or gender. Much the opposite, we strive to ignore these factors as diversity is a strength to be celebrated and promoted. Our physicians have a shared desire to provide care to a diverse patient population - this is why they practice in our publicly funded health care system, and how they remain excellent family doctors.
Choosing a specific physician
We do understand and appreciate that for religious, cultural, or other personal reasons, some patients may prefer a particular type of family physician. This is most frequently the case where patients may strongly prefer a physician of a particular gender.
