Overview
The Regional Advisory Councils’ role is to engage with communities to identify health care priorities in their region and advise government on ways to make health care better.
The 14 councils are set up geographically across Alberta. Each council prepares an annual plan that lists its priorities and an annual report that describes its activities and recommendations.
Annual plan
Each council sets their goals, meeting schedule and expected activities for the fiscal year, including potential engagements. Councils may adjust their goals and activities throughout the year.
