CALGARY – Local parents are invited to a forum next week to learn about the best options for their families’ health care needs.
Your Child’s Health: Getting the Health Care That’s Right for Your Kids will provide parents the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of an emergency department doctor, a public health doctor and a representative from Health Link Alberta, the province’s 24-hour telephone health information and health advice service.
Participants will learn the best options for their needs and discover the broad range of health care services available within their community.
The free ‘Apple Talks’ forum – hosted by Alberta Health Services, Apple magazine and Families Matters – will be held Jan. 23 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Families Matter/Transcanada Medical Centre, 1440 52 St. N.E. Refreshments will be served and child care provided.
Families Matter provides parenting education resulting in healthy child development, and confident and competent parents who are connected within their communities.
Apple is AHS’ health and wellness magazine, available at more than 1,800 points across the province, including at 200 AHS locations and online at www.applemag.ca.
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. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.
