Minister of Health Jason Copping issued the following statement on Rare Disease Day:

Grande Prairie Regional Hospital and cancer centre is expanding access to state-of-the-art health care in northern Alberta by offering more surgeries, radiation therapy and a training facility for nurses.

As COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to decline and pressure on the health-care system decreases, step two of the province’s path back to normal will begin on March 1.

Budget 2022 commits a total of $3.5 billion for health facilities, equipment and IT systems to expand health-care capacity for Albertans no matter where they live and create thousands of good-paying jobs.

Increased options for families to get their children protected against COVID-19 will soon be available at pharmacies, physician offices and AHS clinics.

Alberta’s government will invest $1.8 billion to redevelop and expand the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre as part of the province’s strategy to increase health care capacity, providing central Albertans with better hospital care for years to come.
