Advisory councils
We’re creating 12 Regional Advisory Councils and an Indigenous Advisory Council, which will provide a way for you to share your perspectives on how to improve health care in your community.
Council members will explore potential solutions to local challenges and look for opportunities to better support local decision-making.
In-person Indigenous information gathering sessions
Your voice matters. As we continue to refocus Alberta’s health care system, we are taking steps to ensure the diverse perspectives of Indigenous Peoples and residents of Alberta are represented while working to address the unique challenges of each region.

Input received
In-person public engagement sessions
We held 65 in-person engagement sessions across the province between January 23 and April 12, 2024. We're analyzing the input and feedback collected during these sessions to help shape the future of health care. We are committed to re-engaging health care workers and Albertans through future comprehensive engagement opportunities.
Outcomes
Your feedback will help lead us down the right 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.”
