Alberta is leading the way to give Albertans better access to the care they need. Thatās why weāre taking action.
ā
Adding thousands of doctors and nurses, funding 50,000 more surgeries, planning new hospital towers in Edmonton, Red Deer, and Calgary, and funding the largest-ever expansion of continuing care.
ā
Introducing patient-focused funding so hospital funding follows patients and the care they receive, helping increase access to surgeries and reduce wait times for procedures.
ā
Enabling dual practice, allowing surgeons to provide both publicly insured and private services, increasing surgical capacity and helping more Albertans get treated sooner.
ā
Expanding access to preventative testing, making it easier for Albertans to identify health concerns earlier, access timely answers, and take proactive steps to manage their health.
