May 24-28, 2021
is Alberta Rural
Health Week.
Let’s celebrate rural Alberta!
May 24-28, 2021 is Alberta Rural Health Week: a great opportunity to honour the contributions of the rural Alberta health-care providers and community volunteers who help keep health care close to home.
Rural health providers are powerful assets in their communities. Not only do their health-care skills and practices enhance the quality of rural life, but these professionals also contribute to rural life on a more personal level. They have special relationships with their community, they not only provide care, but are also family, friends, neighbours, and volunteers, and often teach and mentor future health-care providers within their communities.
During Alberta Rural Health Week, we encourage communities to show appreciation for the contributions of the rural health providers whose abilities enhance the quality of life in rural Alberta.
Alberta Rural Health Week is also an opportunity to say thank you to the local volunteers who go above and beyond to support health care and health-care providers in their communities.
We will also be announcing the 2021 recipients of the RhPAP Rhapsody Awards. Watch our website and social media for details!
