SMP-Rural Health Week

This Rural Health Week, we thank everyone who provides care for rural Albertans, strengthens rural health services and helps communities attract and retain highly valued health care providers.

We’re committed to building a health care system that provides quality care, support and treatments that are as close to home and family as possible.

We are addressing rural workforce challenges by investing in physician recruitment and retention, expanding rural medical education and training opportunities, and strengthening primary health care.

The Rural Health Action Plan is focused on addressing issues related to workforce, access, models of care, community care, disease and injury prevention, and wellness in rural Alberta.
