We need and value the Indigenous Peoples who are part of Alberta Health Services (AHS). They lend an important perspective in all settings including clinical, corporate, cultural, and more. It's important that our workforce reflects the people we serve.
We're committed to building an Indigenous workforce to improve health outcomes and patient experience for all Albertans. We are committed to ensuring that Indigenous Peoples have safe, high-quality, accessible healthcare that is culturally safe and culturally aware, and acknowledge that there is more work that must be done. AHS is proud to offer opportunities and paths for Indigenous Peoples to grow a career in healthcare.

AHS acknowledges that its services are provided on the territories of Treaty 6, Treaty 7 and Treaty 8; the homeland of the Otipemisiwak (Oh-teh-pim-swak) Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta and the 8 Metis Settlements.

These territories are the home for many Indigenous Peoples, including the Anishinabe, Blackfoot, Cree, Dene, Inuit, Métis, Stoney Nakoda Sioux, and the Tsuut'ina.
We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous Peoples in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
