BROOKS – Alberta Health Services’ Cancer Strategic Clinical Network (SCN) is inviting eligible individuals to participate in a study to better understand factors that affect the access of newcomers to cancer diagnosis resources.
The SCN is seeking individuals 18 years of age and older who moved to Canada in the last seven years, and who have experienced or have a loved one who has experienced a cancer diagnosis in Alberta. Participation is completely voluntary.
For more information and to register, please visit our website Newcomer Community Supports for Cancer Diagnosis, contact Adebola Odebode at adebola.odebode@ahs.ca, or call 780-246-6202. Participants will be asked to attend one of two in-person sessions at the JBS Centre (323 1 St E.) on Monday, June 26. There are two times to choose from: 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Language interpretation services are available. Participants will be offered a gift card in the amount of $25/hour of participation.
SCNs advance improvements in specific areas of health and work provincially to develop integrated, sustainable solutions to complex, multidisciplinary challenges. To get the most out of our healthcare system, AHS has developed networks of people who are passionate and knowledgeable about specific areas of health, challenging them to find new and innovative ways of delivering care that will provide better quality, better outcomes, and better value for every Albertan.
Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Our mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans. Our current focus is on reducing emergency department wait-times, improving EMS response times, increasing access to surgeries, and improving patient flow.
