Creating vibrant communities of health and healing
We provide quality health care for the whole person — body, mind and soul.
Our mission calls us to serve all Albertans with compassion and to nurture life at all stages. With 17 sites across the province, we offer care from birth to end of life, focusing on mental health services and continuing, palliative and rural care. We are proud to be a valued part of Alberta’s integrated health system.
Our people are our difference. United by a commitment to compassionate care, our workforce includes staff, physicians and volunteers with diverse skillsets and backgrounds. And as one of Alberta’s Top Employers, we offer a supportive, fulfilling workplace where you'll flourish and find your calling.
Our Palliative Institute is working to advance new knowledge and practices in palliative and end-of-life care. We support education and research projects, and we help turn research into practice.
Every year, we also bring together healthcare providers, researchers, community leaders and other palliative care experts to share learnings and innovations at our Palliative Care Education and Research Conference.
The Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine is world-renowned for using digital modelling to treat patients who need facial reconstruction.
We are also leading the way in designing and making implants and prostheses and redefining treatment practices. And our work with biomechanical engineers and materials scientists is bringing us into exciting new research areas such as the use of smart technology.
The Network of Excellence in Seniors’ Health and Wellness is at the forefront of a national movement to reimagine seniors’ care and help people age with dignity. We support projects designed to reshape care in different care settings. We also help design, test and promote new ways ― including new technology and practices ― to meet seniors’ needs at home and in care centres.
The Northern Alberta Vascular Centre is a pioneer in treating people with conditions of the veins and arteries.
