Exciting changes are happening in Alberta’s health care system, and they’re all about putting you, the patient, first! With a strong focus on preventative care, improved access, and reduced wait times, Alberta’s healthcare team is on a mission to make healthcare better for everyone.

Meet the key players driving this transformation: Minister Adriana LaGrange for Primary and Preventative Health, Minister Matt Jones for Hospital and Surgical Health, Minister Rick Wilson for Mental Health and Addiction, and Minister Jason Nixon for Assisted Living and Social Services. Together, they’re aligning services across the board to ensure quick, quality care is available to all Albertans.

What does this mean for you? It means better access to family doctors, reduced wait times for surgeries, and enhanced support for mental health, among other things. The government is also focusing on rural and Indigenous communities, ensuring that everyone gets the care they deserve.

Let’s break it down by area:

• Primary Health Care: Working hard to connect you with a family doctor and improve access to preventative services.
• Surgical Services: New funding models are set to reduce wait times and improve your hospital experience.
• Mental Health: Increasing support for youth mental wellness and addiction recovery.
• Assisted Living: Developing more housing options and care facilities to meet your needs.

This is more than just a healthcare overhaul; it’s about ensuring that every Albertan has access to modern, reliable healthcare. If you or someone you know could benefit from these new initiatives, stay tuned for updates!
