Alberta government announces new primary care corridors

The Alberta government has announced the creation of seven primary care corridor health corporations to help close access gaps in rural communities.

Operating under Primary Care Alberta, these organizations will take on the planning, reporting, and coordination work that can pull front-line providers away from patient care.

Locally, the Peace Region will fall under the Northwestern Primary Care Corridor Health Corporation.

“Albertans deserve a primary care system that responds to the needs of their community,” said Justin Wright, Minister of Primary and Preventative Health Services. “This new model gives local teams clearer directions, stronger accountability, and better coordination so more Albertans can connect with the care they need.”
