Dr. Cathy Horsman

Dr. Cathy Horsman, a family physician in Medicine Hat, demonstrates the kind of commitment to her patients that makes them feel like they are a priority.

In his nomination letter, James describes how Dr. Horsman called him every other day while he was hospitalized and followed his test results closely. She also referred him to a U of A blood pressure study and kept up with his care while on holidays, contacting the study group to ensure he did not miss the opportunity just because she was away.

“Dr. Horsman obviously really cares about each and every patient that she provides care for. We love her and will be broken-hearted when she retires; we will never find another doctor with her knowledge and compassion! She is the very best physician in all of Alberta, maybe the country!”
