Under the authority of the Medical Officer of Health, the program is responsible to prevent and control communicable diseases (CD) that are defined as Notifiable, under the Communicable Disease Regulations of the Public Health Act of Alberta.
Our work takes place on historical and contemporary Indigenous lands, including the territories of Treaty 6, Treaty 7 & Treaty 8 and the homeland of the Métis Nation of Alberta and 8 Métis Settlements. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous communities that have been forged in urban centres across Alberta.
