In the event of natural disasters or other emergencies, healthcare services may be disrupted.
Though all efforts will be made to ensure that our patients receive their regularly scheduled dialysis treatments, this may not always be possible depending on the nature of the emergency.
Being prepared for emergency situations, even if they never occur, can help you know what to do in case you miss your dialysis treatment.
Should services be disrupted, information about emergency planning, preparedness, and updates on what to do during emergency situations in Alberta will be made available for you.
