The province's premier says Alberta Health Services will see a major overhaul by the end of the year.
Premier Danielle Smith believes part of restructuring Alberta Health Services should include pushing “middle managers” to the health care system’s frontlines.
Calgary registered nurse Jennifer Denesuk agrees changes are needed within AHS to get the health care system back on track. AHS says the goal was to play a role in shaping the future of health care on the international stage. “I don't think he's a medical doctor, I don't think he's a nurse and I don't think he's a paramedic,” said Smith on Monday.
Members from Alberta’s health care worker unions held a media conference insisting on meeting with Health Minister Jason Copping, and the premier as she gets set to restructure the system.
