  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded. Thank you so much for your participation.

    In June 2023 the Edmonton Zone Discovery Day for Allied Health and Rehabilitation was held to review and build upon the opportunities and issues that have been identified through the Edmonton Zone Healthcare Planning process, these are:

    • Lack of an integrated model of rehabilitation services;
    • Allied health and Rehabilitation services need to be planned and delivered seamlessly across the continuum of care for all ages of clients, and
    • Rehabilitation plays a critical role across the continuum of healthcare, supporting recovery in acute care and keeping Albertans well in their homes and communities to achieve the highest quality of life possible.

    Participants were asked to identify the elements of an ideal rehabilitation system these were themed, then potential solutions to those themes were brainstormed.  Based on what was heard that day foundational elements for an Edmonton Zone Allied Health and Rehabilitation Strategic Plan have been developed.

    As co-chairs for this initiative, we have made a commitment to engage with allied health and rehabilitation staff, in the Edmonton Zone, to support the development of the strategic plan.   This survey is the first of many opportunities for you to participate in shaping the future of rehabilitation services in the Edmonton Zone. The survey will take approximately 8 minutes to complete, and responses will be accepted up until Friday, February 23, 2024 at 1700hrs.

    If you have any questions, please contact: Tracey.Geyer@ahs.ca

    Thank-you for your support.

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    The CE Review conducted in the fall of 2022 identified a “lack of common understanding of community engagement” across AHS. The report indicated that differences in how community engagement is understood and defined leaves room for misalignment of everyday practices and processes. Furthermore, a lack of common definition may hinder the CE team’s efforts to meet its strategic objective: to build a culture of engagement within AHS.


    Thank you for attending our Establishing a Common Definition of Engagement at Alberta Health Services session. We would appreciate your feedback on the session.

  • What’s in a name?

    AHS recently united organ & tissue donation services across the province as the Alberta Organ and Tissue Donation Program (AOTDP). The program aims to save and enhance lives by increasing the number of organ and tissue donors and shortening wait lists. 


    AOTDP is now rebranding. Our goal is to create a name and identity that helps raise public awareness of the need for life-saving donations, the importance of registering their decision to donate online, and the value of discussing end-of-life wishes.


    We’ve been conducting focus groups & surveys and comparing program brands and campaigns nationally and internationally, and are excited to share our short list of 5 names. 


    Please participate in our renaming. Take this survey before midnight on Tuesday, February 13th.
