Peak Research

Peak Research and Peak Medical Specialty Centres are new, state-of-the-art respiratory clinics located in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Medicine Hat and Strathmore that offer a full array of pulmonary diagnostic equipment and treatments. We are located in various centres in conjunction with Pinnacle Medical Centres which comprise of family physicians, health care providers and therapists. The health care professionals at Peak are passionate about offering patient focused care and are committed to providing the best possible treatment for their patients. All our Respiratory Therapists are Certified Respiratory Educators (CREs) or are in the process of becoming CREs.  As such, we are developing a Respiratory Research Program in order to further enhance patient care.  Since we operate in nine (9) new facilities across the province our patients have the benefit of shorter wait times and physicians that are easily accessible. This approach also allows healthcare providers and physicians from different medical fields (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Physiatry, Neurology, Physiotherapy, etc.) to collaborate and communicate, further enhancing patient care. Peak Research Group and Peak Medical Specialty Centres are excited about the opportunity of working with various pharmaceutical companies in offering improved patient care as we understand that this is of the utmost importance to patients and the community.
