Listening to You

AHS leadership joined Health Minister Jason Copping during a Health Engagement Tour in south, central and north zones in June and July. In each community, events invited internal and community stakeholders to discuss three questions:

What is the healthcare system doing well?
What are the current challenges within the healthcare system?
What opportunities exist to address challenges?

Review the “What We Heard” reports from the communities visited in June and July linked below. And watch for your invite when the Minister's Health Tour comes to a community near you this fall.
