Healthcare 101: Co-designed with Albertans, for Albertans

Welcome to Healthcare 101!

It’s important for all of us to understand the healthcare system and take an active role in our health.

This information will help us, as people who live in Alberta, understand our healthcare system. The idea originally came from Albertans, patients, and family members who partner with healthcare providers and want to feel more prepared when deciding to volunteer and work to improve the health system.

By partnering together, citizens of Alberta found 4 topics they needed to learn more about to help them get ready to talk to doctors, other healthcare providers, and health researchers:

Healthcare Basics for Albertans
Finding My Way
Being My Own Advocate
My Rights

Topic 1: Healthcare Basics for Albertans

The first topic we’ll discuss is Healthcare Basics for Albertans. The citizens of Alberta will continue to work together to bring you more information on the other 3 topics.
