The Alberta Health Services (AHS) immunization policy will now allow proof of negative COVID-19 tests in some communities to protect high-quality health care for Albertans.

Alberta’s government is introducing a new program to free up ambulances and paramedics to respond to more emergency calls.

Minister of Health Jason Copping issued the following statement on Heart Health Awareness Month:

To help with the rising cost of living, the government will provide more financial relief to Albertans in designated supportive living and long-term care from Nov. 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

A one-of-a-kind partnership with Alberta Chambers of Commerce will make it easier for small and medium-sized businesses to access rapid testing kits.

More than $5 million in community grants will support Albertans of every age in their recovery from mental health and addiction challenges.

A 25 per cent increase to a program that subsidizes business costs, and changes to other support programs, will help physicians deal with inflation and keep practices open.
