Alberta to fill primary health care gaps with $15-million nurse practitioners program
April 25, 2024
Alberta has announced a $15-million program aimed at supporting nurse practitioners to work independently, part of the province’s plan to improve access to primary care.More than 700,000 Albertans do not have a primary health care provider, according to the province. Health Minister Adriana LaGrange told a news conference Thursday that the government estimates 50 nurse practitioners will participate in the new program this year, eventually supporting a minimum of 45,000 patients, which she said will go “a long way” to address the current shortage.
The University of Toronto says it sees "a way forward" after meeting with student protesters behind a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus.
