At Alethea, we are proud to celebrate the healthcare professionals who make a difference in patient care every day. As our first "Primary Care Provider of the Month" campaign, we’re excited to feature Lincoln Taylor, a dedicated Nurse Practitioner at Harmony Family Health Clinic in St. Albert, Alberta, as our first feature for January.
Lincoln Taylor has been making an impact in primary care for over a decade as a Nurse Practitioner, with an additional 10 years of experience as a nurse. At Harmony Family Health Clinic, Lincoln provides care to patients across all stages of life, from expectant mothers to elderly individuals, including those requiring palliative care.
While Lincoln enjoys the diversity of primary care, he has a special focus on helping patients manage chronic pain and navigate multiple, complex medical conditions. His empathetic approach and depth of experience have made him an invaluable asset to his community.
Lincoln first discovered Alethea shortly after its launch, and it quickly became a cornerstone of his practice. "I was simply blown away with the service and thought, 'Why did it take this long to come up with something like this?'" he shared.
Now, back in primary care, Lincoln uses Alethea at least twice a week, finding it an indispensable resource for improving patient care. He shared a recent example of how the platform has made a difference:
"I have a new patient who is elderly and exhibits shaking in her hands, a shuffling gait, and a flat affect. Everyone, including the patient, suspected Parkinson's because one of her parents had the condition. While I referred her to a local neurologist, I used Alethea to ask about additional steps I could take in primary care before her specialist appointment. The consultant provided helpful suggestions and trials that are already benefiting my patient. It also gave me more detailed insights to guide her care in the meantime."
For Lincoln, Alethea offers countless advantages with no downsides. "I’ve contacted specialists about a wide variety of questions, and the platform has always provided valuable insights," he said. "I recommend Alethea to all my colleagues—it’s an incredible tool that every primary care practitioner should be using."
Lincoln’s dedication to his patients and his proactive use of Alethea to enhance care embodies the spirit of our platform. By leveraging eConsults, Lincoln ensures his patients receive timely and informed care, reducing wait times and improving outcomes.
