At AHS, our mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

All individuals – whether they are a healthcare provider, physician, volunteer, family member or patient – are protected from discrimination at AHS.

Our goal is to create a safer and welcoming healthcare environment for sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) people.

We provide this safer environment by ensuring that how we work together with patients, clients, families and each other is guided by our core values – compassion, accountability, respect, excellence and safety.

AHS’ Patient First Strategy works to promote respect, enhance communications, support a team-based approach to care and improve transitions in care. This inclusive approach focuses on the individual needs of every patient.
