We can’t predict how long you will need to wait in the emergency department. Patients are assessed (triaged) using a standard scoring system called the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) to see how urgent their health needs are.
General Radiography uses x-rays to produce images of the structures inside the body, particularly bones. X-ray beams can pass through the body, but they are absorbed in different amounts depending on the density of the material they pass through.
An estimated wait time will be provided at the time of appointment booking.

Primary Care Alberta provides routine immunizations free of charge to students in Grades 1, 6 and 9. These vaccines are offered in school.
Each year, public health reviews immunization records for students in grades 1, 6 and 9 to see what immunizations each student needs. A consent form is sent home with an information sheet for each vaccine recommended for the student. No immunizations will be given in school without consent from a parent or legal guardian.
For school immunization information, visit School immunization.
Additional vaccines may be needed depending on your child’s health conditions or other risk factors.
If your child cannot receive vaccines at school - such as if they are homeschooled or absent on the day of immunizations - public health will provide you with information on how your child can be immunized.
For general information about immunization, visit Immunization or call Health Link.

As part of our support for patient care and comfort, friends and family of inpatients at hospital and health care facilities can send well wishes via email. Sites participating in the program will receive the message, will ensure that the message is only "well-wish" (any other type of communication will be deleted) and will arrange for delivery within 3 business days. A couple of important reminders - the electronic delivery system is not a secure connection, so please don't add any confidential information to your message. Plus the "well-wish" system does not allow for replies or confirm receipt / delivery confirmation.
