Regional health corridors

Transitioning to regional health corridors will help provincial health agencies respond to the needs of local communities.

Overview

As part of the government’s work to refocus Alberta’s health care system, we are taking an integrated approach to health system planning to inform decision-making and better respond to local needs and priorities. 

Seven regional health corridors reflect where and how Albertans are accessing health care. They consider data related to overall travel patterns to access services and facilities, ensuring Albertans will be able to access the services they need when and where they need them.

Resources

Understand how the regional health corridors will help you access health care.

  • Names of each corridor

    The 7 regional health corridors will help government understand health system needs at both the provincial and regional levels:

    • North-West
    • North-East
    • Edmonton
    • Central
    • Calgary
    • South-West
    • South-East

  • New health agencies and the health corridors

    The 4 new provincial health agencies will use the regional health corridors for health system planning without restricting movement across boundaries.

  • Evidence-based approach

    The new regional health corridors were developed using data from overall travel patterns of Albertans using health services and facilities, as well as feedback received during health care refocusing public engagement sessions. 

    This transition will enable the government to take an evidence-based approach to inform provincial-level decisions about services, workforce and infrastructure across the 4 new provincial health agencies.

  • Health care providers in different health corridors

    The new health corridors will better support Albertans in being able to access care from practitioners across the province.

  • Regional advisory councils

    The boundaries of the 14 new regional advisory councils align with the health corridors, with some corridors, because of their size, being represented by more than one council. These councils will bring forward local priorities and improve local decision-making to help build a stronger, unified health care system that responds to the needs of the communities it serves.
