Calgary, Canada Avivo Health Alliance (formerly Isis Women's Health Clinic) Full time

**THE ORGANIZATION**

Avivo Health Alliance Ltd. is a multi-disciplinary medical clinic that provides patients with the full spectrum of services to meet their obstetrics and gynecology needs. Everything we do is powered by our determination to maximize the health and wellbeing of our patients. We listen, learn and advocate for patient’s physical, emotional, and educational needs. We’re a team of professionals passionate about our work. We know our impact goes beyond the services we provide. We believe everyone should have access to the highest standard of care. This means rigorous technical knowledge and expertise as well as empathy and compassion. We’re driven by purpose. United in our beliefs. Evidence based and human focused.

Our original clinic, Isis Women’s Health Clinic was formed in 2011 in Calgary. In 2020, we started the process of building out our vision to offer multi disciplinary services for our patients in one location. Our founders, Drs. Baranowski, Coughlan, Mahalingham and Suri are part of a larger group of 16 obstetricians and gynecologists who practice out of Foothills Medical Centre.

In March 2023, we moved to our new location in NW Calgary where we are looking for additional physicians to meet the needs of our patients. Our Clinic presently offers obstetrical (maternity) care, gynecology (general and surgical), menopause support, lactation, circumcision and pelvic floor physiotherapy.
