In close collaboration with various health agencies, HSS promises to enhance coordination and accountability across the board.
Here’s the exciting part: Under the leadership of Maureen Towle, a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience, HSS plans to deliver services to the health system from December 1. Picture a future where healthcare professionals can work together seamlessly, leading to improved patient journeys and overall efficiency.

As we look to the future, mark April 1, 2026 on your calendar; that’s when HSS aims to be fully operational. This initiative is more than just restructuring; it's about ensuring that every Albertan has access to high-quality care. So, let’s celebrate this important step towards a healthier Alberta, and get inspired to be part of a revolution in healthcare!
