MyHealth.Alberta.ca’s New Look
The homepage updates will make it easier to find the information you are looking for. The content itself hasn't changed and is still a trusted source of information. These changes reflect our ongoing commitment to follow new and emerging
best practices.
You can still find specific health conditions, tips for healthy living, or locate a service. You can also learn about medications, tests and treatments.
