Wait times falling for emergency care and surgeries: Alberta Health Services
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Government of Alberta said it is seeing progress in all priority areas of its Health Care Action Plan (HCAP).
Announced in November 2022, the HCAP aims to reduce wait times for EMS response, surgeries, and care at emergency departments. The plan also includes provisions to hire more healthcare workers.
Health Minister Jason Copping said, in the months following the plan’s announcement, Alberta is already seeing remarkable progress.
“This is having an immediate impact on Albertans across the province who need and deserve timely access to care,” said Copping. “We are going to keep pushing forward with positive change.”
