Learn to safely use Microsoft Copilot Chat AI

Simulation centre opens at Sturgeon Community Hospital
Healthcare teams at the Sturgeon Community Hospital in St. Albert now have a dedicated space to practise simulated medical response exercises and refine their skills.
The newly opened $1-million clinical simulation centre includes a technologically integrated room that can mimic a hospital, an operating room and an emergency department. The space also has extensive storage space for equipment and supplies, and two breakout rooms that can be used to debrief simulations or to schedule smaller education sessions.
The centre, fully funded by the Sturgeon Community Hospital Foundation, was designed by Educate, Simulate, Innovate, Motivate (eSIM), the provincial simulation program under the Quality & Healthcare Improvement portfolio in AHS. (more...)
Supporting Albertans with Brain Injuries
Acquired brain injuries change lives in an instant, and can affect an individual’s memory, emotions, communication and movement. The road to recovery is often long, unpredictable and challenging – not only for individuals with brain injuries, but also for the families and communities who support them every step of the way.
Each year, about 5,000 Albertans sustain a brain injury, and through Budget 2025, the province will invest more than $5.7 million into the Alberta Brain Injury Initiative to ensure Albertans have the support they need, when and where they need it. (more...)
