Hospitals platforms

Here's what the 2023 Alberta election parties are promising.
We don't have any UCP policies on Hospitals.

NDP
  • Build the South Edmonton Hospital

    "We will proceed with construction and explore opportunities to speed up the completion timeline.

    The South Edmonton Hospital will be built according to its original plan for 500 patient beds. We will not scale back operations to cut costs, and we will ensure the hospital is fully staffed as part of our targeted healthcare recruitment strategy and plan to introduce Family Health Teams." — Building a Better Future for Edmonton, retrieved 2023-05-22

  • Expand the Red Deer Regional Hospital, without using a Public-Private Partnership model, and make the construction timeline transparent

    "An Alberta NDP Government will:

    1. Press forward urgently with the expansion of the hospital, and explore any opportunity to speed up the timeline
    2. Recruit and train new healthcare workers to ensure the hospital is fully staffed
    3. Be transparent with the project's timeline and communicate any changes

    The UCP has failed to deliver any substantial progress on expanding the Red Deer Hospital. After nearly four years they have quietly delayed the project even further.

    We will never pursue a P3 construction model for the hospital, as these models only lead to further delays." — albertandp.ca, retrieved 2023-05-09

  • Plan a North Calgary Health Campus
  • Create a cardiac catheterisation lab at the Chinook Regional Hospital
  • Provide $40M to build a new Stollery Children's Hospital

    "Rachel Notley and the Alberta NDP have pledged $40 million to support the planning and design of a new, stand-alone Stollery Children's Hospital." — albertandp.ca, retrieved 2023-05-19

  • Show 3 more promises...
  • Staff the Calgary Cancer Centre

    "The Alberta NDP will build the Alberta Cancer Innovation Hub, ensuring Calgary is a leader in cancer care across Canada. The Alberta Cancer Innovation Hub will develop clinical trials and deploy cutting-edge treatments and technologies.

    The Alberta Cancer Innovation Hub is part of a broader commitment to improve research and development in Alberta’s life sciences industries and encourage patenting and commercialization of Alberta-based intellectual property. Most importantly, improve cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for all Albertans." — Building a Better Future for Calgary, retrieved 2023-05-22

  • Create an Alberta Cancer Innovation Hub
  • Fund a new X-Ray machine in Morinville
