Primaris Health, a new private medical clinic in Calgary's University District, hosted an exclusive soft opening on May 2, 2026, offering invited guests a first look at its facility and philosophy before the official public launch. The event marked a significant milestone for the clinic, which aims to redefine healthcare by focusing on proactive, personalized, and longevity-oriented medicine.
During the soft opening, guests learned about Primaris Health's patient-first approach, the range of services and technologies designed to support long-term health, and how the clinic intends to transform the typical clinic experience. According to Matt Lau, CEO of Primaris Health, the event was an opportunity to share the vision, gather early feedback, and begin building relationships with the community. “This soft opening marked an important milestone for us,” Lau said. “It allowed us to share our vision, gather early feedback, and begin building meaningful relationships with our community before officially opening our doors.”
Primaris Health is designed to deliver a patient-centred experience that blends advanced medical technology with personalized care. The clinic focuses on proactive health, longevity, and optimal wellness, offering services tailored to each individual's needs and goals. Its multidisciplinary team includes family physicians, naturopathic doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, dermatologists, optometrists, dietitians, fitness consultants, and dedicated care managers, with each patient's care plan coordinated by a registered nurse.
The clinic offers membership-based care, a Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment, and specialized services through Primaris Dermatology and Primaris Vision. Medical services are provided through physicians registered with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA), and individual care plans and results vary.
Following the soft opening, Primaris Health is preparing for its official launch and plans to share updates, announcements, and upcoming milestones in the weeks ahead. The event underscores a growing trend toward personalized and preventive healthcare models that emphasize patient engagement and long-term wellness.

The implications of this announcement are significant for the healthcare industry, particularly in Canada, where publicly funded systems often struggle with wait times and impersonal care. Primaris Health's model offers an alternative that prioritizes comprehensive assessments and coordinated care, potentially setting a benchmark for private clinics aiming to integrate multidisciplinary services. For patients, this means access to a holistic approach that goes beyond treating illness to actively managing health and extending longevity. As the clinic moves toward its public launch, it may influence how other providers structure their services and engage with patients seeking more proactive healthcare solutions.
