Alberta Health Services (AHS) is committed to ensuring people with diverse and cultural backgrounds have a voice in healthcare in order to improve healthcare experiences of all Albertans. One way to achieve this is through Advisory Councils, where members represent diverse perspectives within communities across Alberta regardless of gender, race, age or religious beliefs and experiences. These Councils provide insights and input on healthcare service delivery, priorities and programs to AHS leadership. They bring forward feedback from the public to support AHS’ strategic direction.

• Hear ideas and suggestions from your neighbours, friends and communities about health services and areas of improvement 
• Help AHS enhance care locally and province wide
• Play an important role in developing partnerships between our diverse communities and AHS

Our members:

• Are passionate about healthcare and service delivery
