Palliative care access in Red Deer is being bolstered with the hiring of a newly recruited physician.
Dr. Stephen Yam is now practising out of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, serving as palliative care consultant and medical lead for palliative and end-of-life care in the Central Zone.
“Our government is committed to providing high-quality healthcare support for all Albertans, across every stage of life, including end-of-life care,” says Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Health and MLA for Red Deer-North. “Dr. Yam’s recruitment will significantly benefit local residents and their loved ones when they need palliative and end-of-life care.”
Dr. Yam completed his training at the University of Saskatchewan and University of Alberta, including up north where he ran the Fort McMurray Community Cancer Centre.
