What if I have a concern about the care and treatment provided by a physician while receiving care at one of the AHS – Calgary area health care facilities?
Over 3,000 physicians practice within the boundaries of the AHS – Calgary area. The vast majority of these physicians are not employees of the Alberta Health Services, but have been granted “appointment and privileges” as independent practitioners. This allows them to provide care in AHS facilities and to use AHS resources. Physicians are licensed and regulated by their professional body, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. If you as a member of the public have a concern relating specifically to the medical care provided to you by a physician in our facility, you can contact the Office of Patient Relations at 403-944-2077 or 403-944-2080 for assistance.
