Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!
Today we recognize and celebrate the cultures and contributions of Indigenous Peoples from across Canada.
Alberta Health Services (AHS) is committed to providing culturally safe, accessible healthcare to all our patients. This includes supporting the practice of Indigenous spiritual ceremonies inside all of our sites.
Today, the Patient Access to Indigenous Spiritual Ceremony policy takes effect throughout AHS. This policy ensures all patients have consistent support to hold ceremonies no matter where in the province they are receiving care.
