I am honored to have been invited back to support Health Cities in their pursuit of digital innovation adoption in primary care. #primarycare #innovation #digitalrevolution #letsgo #albertahealth

Last week, we attended the Alberta Continuing Care Association 2024 Annual Conference #ACCA2024, connecting with Alberta health leaders and gaining insight on the future of continuing care in the province. #continuingcare #ABhealth
Time well spent at #ACCA2024 last week where Premier Danielle Smith shared plans to shift continuing care under the leadership of Honorable Jason Nixon, ECA, MLA. Working closely with Minister Adriana LaGrange and her amazing team at Alberta Health, this cross ministerial approach can make significant impacts in the quality of care for seniors and vulnerable populations across the province. #ContinuingCare #PeopleFirst #CommunityCare #HealthcareInnovation Health Cities
