Long Range Planning

Throughout 2016 and 2017, Alberta Health Services (AHS), in partnership with Alberta Health, has met with community members, patients, health professionals, physicians, community health partners, and health experts from across the province to talk about building the future of healthcare. Thank you to everyone for your interest and involvement with healthcare planning to date. The planning has evolved into the development of Zone Healthcare Plans.

Highlights

Zone healthcare plans:

  • provide a long term view of healthcare delivery over the next 15 years
  • play a key role to help ensure decisions we’re making today result in the best possible outcomes for tomorrow
  • align to the AHS Health Plan and Business Plan
  • help guide the development and implementation of Zone-specific strategies and initiatives

Areas of Focus for Zones

 

Next steps, and sharing updates with you
