Your voice matters

Your insights and perspectives are helping lead the way on the design and implementation of Alberta’s refocused health care system, ensuring it meets the needs of Albertans today and for generations to come.

Engaging with health care professionals, patients and all Albertans is vital to refocus the health care system. The input, experiences and feedback we gather will help create a more effective and efficient health care system.

What we heard

When Alberta Health announced it would refocus the health care system, we committed to comprehensive engagement and 2-way dialogue with Albertans. Between January 23 and April 12, 2024, we heard feedback and ideas from over 30,000 patients, families, caregivers, and health care workers from across Alberta.

Feedback from every session has been collected, carefully analyzed and summarized in the 'What We Heard' report. This feedback is helping inform the work to refocus Alberta’s health care system.

We encourage you to read the findings to understand what patients, health care workers, Indigenous groups and others shared with Alberta Health.

Outcomes

Your feedback will help lead us down the path to success.

Having a health care system that functions properly is critical to the health and well-being of Albertans and their families. That’s why it’s so important we have these conversations with front line workers, patients and caregivers about the challenges that exist and how we can build a stronger health care system that serves the current and future needs of Albertans.”
