Our union’s goal now is to ensure that Alberta Hospital Edmonton is redeveloped, so Albertans can be assured that this centre of excellence in mental health care remains in place for future generations.
Our research team has studied the issues closely and found that the future of Alberta Hospital Edmonton is still in doubt. Unless the government makes a commitment to
redevelop the hospital, it is likely that health care professionals and regular Albertans will have to fight this battle all over again.
Our researchers have collected a large amount of evidence supporting the case to redevelop Alberta Hospital Edmonton. We are asking you to review these findings and follow up with an expression of your support. Communities in the Capital Region, and across the entire province, will bear the brunt of any negative outcomes should Alberta Hospital Edmonton be closed, so we are asking that you make an effort to express your concerns in writing to your local MLA, Health Minister Gene Zwozdesky, and Premier Ed Stelmach, as thousands of other Albertans have. Local AUPE members may also seek a brief meeting with you to ask what action you are willing to take in order to support the redevelopment of Alberta Hospital Edmonton.
