We are currently experiencing a province-wide network outage which is impacting some services. 8-1-1 Health Link is unable to receive calls at this time. If you have an emergency, call 9-1-1.
We are working to restore service and will provide updates as soon as possible.
As I reflect on 2022 I am grateful for the wonderful people who have enriched my life, the lives of those I love, and the world we all share. Also, our four legged pals 😀. #HappyNewYear2023

So proud of the work and impact of our team, and to be leaders of the #AllforOne national genomics program. Real kids snd real families have their life transformed by genomics and the teams who bring this tech to the bedside.
Her new kidney is named Elsa and the diagnosis and treatment of Alysha's rare genetic condition was made possible through whole genome sequencing.
Thanks to @UofCr4kids and @UCalgaryMed researchers for being part of the #AllforOne effort.

“To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world” Josephine Billings knew that no matter who you are, what you do, or where you come from, we can all make a positive difference through caring and helping others #kindnessmatters #makeadifference
Heartbreaking news that @dryiu_verna will no longer be our leader. Dr. Yiu offered us authentic, humble, compassionate, strong and graceful leadership. Thank you for taking such good care of us these past 6 years. #wherewouldwebewithoutyiu

If parents haven’t already you can register their child online through the bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vacci… in advance of appointments being available - does not mean you will get notice or advanced priority, but will be one small step closer!

It’s a good week for Canadian Children; today, #CovidVaccine is approved for 5-11 yr olds. AHS will help make vaccination less scary for children and families. #ItDoesntHaveToHurt
Today, Health Canada approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 - 11. Appointments will be available as soon as we receive vaccine supply. You can register your child online in advance of appointment availability: bookvaccine.alberta.ca (1/5)

October is #DisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth, and we are raising awareness of the experience of GCs w/ disabilities. Hear from Kristal Platt about her experience in the job search and the resilience, creativity and strength of our colleagues w/ disabilities. #GCChat #NDEAM
#COVID19Facts:
COVID-19 vaccines are effective.
COVID-19 vaccines are proven safe.
COVID-19 vaccines are not ‘experimental’.
COVID-19 vaccines provide more robust protection than infection-acquired (or natural) immunity.
