• 2017-18: Report to the community

    Highlights of the Year

Patients, families and communities are the centre of everything we do. Together, we are building a health system that welcomes patients and their families as full partners in their care and improves the quality of our services in Alberta.

Alberta Health Services is focused on supporting people in our communities, through illness prevention and the promotion of wellness, so they enjoy the highest quality of life possible. There are many ways we have emphasized staying healthy and well, while we also support the people who need care. These are a few of the ways, we've provided better care in our communities.
