AHS Advisory Councils

Attend an Advisory Council meeting, or apply to become a member.

• AHS has 12 Health Advisory Councils that bring community-based input into AHS planning and services.
• AHS has four Provincial Advisory Councils, Albertans with lived experience who advise AHS on healthcare planning and evaluation.
• AHS also has a Wisdom Council that provides guidance to ensure AHS develops and implements culturally appropriate and safe health programs for Indigenous Peoples. Their work goes beyond programming for Indigenous Peoples; they look at many AHS initiatives through an Indigenous worldview and they work to ensure equitable frameworks are in place at AHS.

Visit the Advisory Councils online or email Community.Engagement@ahs.ca to find out more information about council meetings in your area.
