Primaris Health, a private health care clinic in Calgary, has launched a membership program targeting executives and high-performing professionals through an invite-only preview event. The model aims to provide an alternative to what CEO Matthew Lau described as fragmented, reactive health experiences that delay decisions and consume time for many Albertans. Lau outlined the clinic's approach during the presentation, emphasizing four core principles: timely access, clinical continuity, prevention-forward planning, and measurable outcomes. He stated that executives manage every major business asset with a plan and a team, and argued their health deserves the same standard.
The membership provides members with a dedicated physician, a coordinated care team, and a proactive roadmap instead of disconnected appointments. Operational details were addressed by COO Apeksha Heedeniya, while clinical aspects were explained by physicians including Dr. Brenden Kunimoto, who described the team-based care model anchoring each member to a physician while coordinating across specialties. Dr. Dan Chen presented the prevention and performance framework, covering evidence-based screening schedules, lifestyle medicine, and data-driven health reviews. Dr. Paul Lubitz discussed specialty access and on-site service infrastructure, explaining how Primaris compresses diagnostic and treatment timelines that typically stretch across weeks under standard referral pathways.
The membership program includes timely medical access, virtual appointment options, a dedicated care coordinator for referrals and active health management, and private unhurried appointments with clear, written action plans. Members receive comprehensive baseline assessments at enrollment with regular reviews tied to personal health goals. For executives seeking private health care in Calgary beyond reactive appointments, the Primaris model functions as a long-term managed health strategy. Prospective members can find membership information through the clinic's website at https://www.primarishealth.ca/membership or schedule a phone consultation directly via https://calendly.com/mattlau-primarishealth/30min. The clinic is located at #400, 60 Uxborough Place NW, Calgary, Alberta, and also operates Primaris Dermatology and Primaris Vision divisions.
