  • Patient and Family Advisory Councils Launched

    supporting image

    In late 2018, AHS began recruiting Patient and Family Advisors to share experiences, expertise and perspectives as the Centre is built. The advisors work in partnership with us through two councils: a Child and Youth Advisory Council, and a Family Advisory Council.

    The Patient and Family Advisors are volunteers who help us develop programs and services that are responsive to the needs of patients and provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

    Active recruitment for the advisory councils is currently closed. If you are interested in future advisor opportunities with the Centre you can email: ccamh.calgary@ahs.ca.

    To learn more about other Patient and Family Advisor opportunities please visit the ahs.ca website, here.
