JASPER – Alberta Health Services (AHS) is working hard to ensure the community of Jasper has care available with the resumption of acute care services at the Seton-Jasper Healthcare Centre this week.
Inpatient admissions have resumed and Seton-Jasper Healthcare Centre is now fully operational. The emergency department (ED) reopened August 15, and outpatient Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging services resumed August 20.
Services may be subject to adjustment to ensure the safety of those providing and receiving care.
Through the continued uncertainty around the current wildfire situation in the area, the care and safety of our patients and staff remains our top priority.
Currently, there is no timeline available for when continuing care residents might be repatriated back to the community.
We continue to maintain close relationships with municipal and provincial partners to ensure we have the information we need to develop timelines and a plan for the safe return of residents and patients.
We are extremely grateful for our frontline teams, staff and physicians who have come together to support the wildfire response across the organization.
AHS provides wildfire resources for Albertans at AHS.ca/wildfire, including mental health, air quality, and emergency planning links.
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.
