We are happy to let you know that Euclid Telehealth and your doctor at Crescent Medical Centre are working together to bring you a specialized eye disease screening covered by Alberta Health Care, for the early detection, prevention, and treatment of vision loss.

Based on your doctor’s recommendation, Euclid will be contacting you to schedule an appointment, but in the meantime, you can learn more or book online at https://euclidtelehealth.org/crescent, or contact Euclid’s team at patientsupport@euclidtelehealth.org, or call 1-800-511-5661 to speak with their patient support team who will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
