Alberta Health Services Issues affecting ALS Clients

  • Effective June 13, Alberta Health Services will eliminate the ALS Case Manager position in Calgary.
  • This position supports people living with ALS.
  • The Case Manager works closely with the ALS Society staff, and the Alberta Health Services ALS Clinic to ensure the best possible care for people with ALS\
  • We are concerned about the effects of eliminating this position.

If you are concerned about these budget cuts, please contact your MLA.
