We’re live at Calgary Foothills Primary Care Network! CFPCN is a remarkable group that has over 500 family doctors—delivering care to nearly half a million Albertans. That’s almost 1 in 8 people in the province receiving care from a team built on compassion, collaboration, and innovation. More than a network, CFPCN is a connected community—working together to support people through every stage of life and help them live healthier, longer lives. With Ava, this community has the tools that make care more efficient, more connected, and more accessible. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the incredible effort of our team. From planning to go-live, they worked closely with CFPCN to ensure a smooth transition—showcasing the care, dedication, and partnership we bring to every transition. To the entire CFPCN team: thank you for trusting Ava to support the work you do every day. Together, we’re strengthening care and empowering providers. Let’s keep pushing what’s possible in primary care—together. 💜 #PrimaryCare #Calgary #AB #Healthcare

A Faster, Simpler, and More Intuitive EMR
About us
Ava EMR is a modern solution designed to simplify and streamline medical clinic workflows. Our platform empowers healthcare professionals with seamless task management, efficient patient communication, and the flexibility to work from anywhere. Founded in 2016 by Dr. Mike Forseth and Dr. Matt Henschke, Ava EMR was created from their experience running a medical clinic in Calgary, Alberta. They identified a need for an EMR system that was intuitive, efficient, and designed to optimize clinic operations. Their goal was to develop a system that enhances connectivity, boosts efficiency, and elevates patient care. Today, thousands of physicians across Alberta and British Columbia rely on Ava EMR to transform their practices and rediscover the joy of medicine.

Last week, our team gathered at Platform Calgary for an all-hands workshop—two days of connection, collaboration, and forward thinking. But it was also a moment to reflect on just how far we’ve come. Ava began as a small idea between two physicians, Dr. Michael Forseth and Dr. Matt Henschke: What if we could build a better EMR? One that felt intuitive. Simpler. One that helped providers spend more time on care—not clicks. People said it was impossible. That changing the industry couldn’t be done. But with the right team—and a lot of heart—that idea became something real. Today, Ava is trusted by thousands of physicians across Alberta and British Columbia —doctors who collectively care for millions of Canadians. We’ve grown to support clinics working within Alberta Health and across BC’s Fraser Health Authority, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, Island Health Authority, and Interior Health Authority. That growth didn’t happen overnight. It took years of building, listening, troubleshooting, and showing up—again and again. This photo captures the team behind it all. Every line of code, every support call, every demo, every clinic launch—it’s taken deep dedication to get here. We’re proud of what we’ve built. And even more proud of who we’ve built it with. Here’s to what’s next. 💜 #AvaIndustries #Healthcare #Innovation #DreamTeam

We had an incredible turnout on Monday with over 50 physicians joining us for a forum and open chat about the PCPCM: Alberta's new funding model for Primary Care. It was a lively and thoughtful discussion full of great questions about how PCPCM could be applied in family practice across Alberta. Thank you to everyone who joined and shared your perspectives — conversations like this are key to shaping a better future for primary care. We’ve captured some of the highlights here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gwcf6d9y Let’s keep the conversation going. #primarycare #PCPCM #healthcareinnovation #familymedicine #albertahealth

We’ve been heads down getting Ava ready for PCPCM — and we’re excited to say: we made it! 🙌 Big updates to billing and the interface are now live, just in time for the April 1st launch. The goal?
