RESIDE Communities

Each year, the list of communities participating in the RESIDE Program is developed by the RESIDE Community of Needs Committee. This committee is comprised of representatives from Alberta Health, Alberta Health Services, and RhPAP.

These communities are identified based on specific criteria, including number of physicians and clinics in the community, number of physicians over 65, evaluating various indicators of primary care need for measuring physician demand, and proximity to closest alternate facility, regional facility and tertiary centre. The assessment also considers the current and historic number of physician vacancies in the community.

Coming soon.

2022 RESIDE Communities

The communities identified for participation in the RESIDE Program in 2022 have been further subdivided into two levels as outlined below:

Level One Communities

These communities are ranked as Level 1 for the purposes of this program as they are the most remote from the closest secondary care centre. RESIDE Program applicants who are successfully matched to these communities will receive a financial benefit of $100,000 in return for providing service in this community for three years.

Click on the expandable menus below to access information including a PDF profile for each community. These resources are intended to provide a snapshot rather than an exhaustive list of the services and resources that are available in each of these communities at the time of posting. If you have any questions about these Level 1 Communities or would like to receive an email reminder when the communities profiles are published, please contact the RESIDE Team.
