albertapatients is an online community about health care.
As a member of this community, you will have an opportunity to:
- Share your input with Alberta's doctors through the Alberta Medical Association.
- Take part in scientific surveys about health care in Alberta; what’s happening today and what is being proposed for the future.
- Engage with other Albertans and health care professionals about a variety of health care topics through online forums and “virtual town halls.”
- We want to know about your experiences – good, bad and everything in between – as well as your wants, needs and priorities.
- We want patients to have input on new initiatives while they are still on the drawing board, so that final outcomes will be patient-focused and patient-friendly.
albertapatients’ mandate is also to inform. Each month, members of our community will receive an e-newsletter featuring discussion of Alberta's health care system, answering questions (based on member feedback) and providing you with insights gathered from our member survey research.
So what’s in it for you as a member?
- You’ll have a chance to be heard and an opportunity to improve health care for all Albertans.
- You’ll be able to learn a bit more about the health care system, how to use it and what’s available to meet your needs.
- One more thing: We recognize how busy people’s lives are and how valuable your time is. So to have a little fun and provide a bit of a thank you to albertapatients members for their time and participation, we conduct monthly sweepstakes of 5 prizes of $200 each.
Every member of
albertapatients is eligible for our monthly prize draws, and every time you take part in one of our surveys you’ll receive an additional entry into that month’s prize draw.
Join today. Have your say about health care.
