Introduction
Primary health care includes all the services in your community that support the day-to-day health needs of you and your family through every stage of life.
We are taking action to strengthen and improve the primary health care system across the province, so everyone has access to a primary health care provider, no matter where we live.
Modernizing primary health care
Alberta’s actions through the Modernizing Alberta’s Primary Health Care System (MAPS) initiative to strengthen the health system and ensure we all have access to timely and appropriate primary health care.
Tracking progress
Follow the actions we are taking and progress we are making to implement recommendations from the MAPS initiative.
