Hospital and Surgical Health Services

Alberta’s government is investing $39 million to boost urgent care capacity by 150 per cent and divert up to 300,000 emergency visits a year.

New data shows Alberta is outpacing the rest of Canada in growing its front-line health care workforce and increasing surgical volumes.

Alberta has expanded hospital capacity to a record high of more than 9,000 acute care spaces and introduced a new triage program to prepare for increased demand.
