The province’s top healthcare leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs will gather in Red Deer this Thursday to identify tech-driven solutions for the biggest challenges facing Alberta’s healthcare system.

Hosted by Health Cities, an economic development organization in the healthcare industry, the half-day symposium titled “Accelerating Health Outcomes Through Innovation” will take place on March 14 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at The Marquis Room in Westerner Park.

An array of speakers will share their thoughts and opinions to healthcare providers, stakeholders, and policymakers.

“Alberta is facing unprecedented healthcare challenges, which will require unprecedented solutions,” said organizers in a release. “We can accelerate access and outcomes in our healthcare system by coming together and thinking differently. This is more than a conversation; this is transforming collective experience into effective action. What we launch today can make Alberta a future global leader in innovative healthcare delivery.”

Officials with Health Cities state that the Government of Alberta has taken the first step by refocusing the province’s healthcare system around four specialized areas: primary care, acute care, continuing care, and mental health and addictions, with each area facing its own unique challenges.
