​The Healthwise information is reviewed by a medical review board process. Alberta-specific content is created by Alberta experts and reviewed every 2 years to make sure it's still accurate, evidenced-based, and up to date.

​The MyHealth.Alberta.ca site was created by the Alberta Government and Alberta Health Services to give Albertans one place to go for health information they can trust.

The resources on this site come from: 

• Alberta clinicians and experts who contribute content on a specific topic   
• Research-based Canadian content provided by Healthwise®
• Our team works with health experts across the province to make sure that health information is correct, up to date, and written for Albertans

​MyHealth.Alberta.ca tries to make sure the content is easy to read and understand.

You are always able to print a web page using the print function of your browser.  On many of our content pages you can use our custom print manager to give you more freedom to select what information you want to print.

​The medication information sheets tell you:

• ​what the medicine is for
• what you need to know about it
• when you should see a doctor

Knowing more about the medicine you take can help you choose between your options when possible.

The test and treatment guides tell you:

• what your test or treatment is for
• what to expect during it
• what to expect after it’s done

Knowing more about tests and treatments beforehand can help you get ready for them and possibly even choose between health treatment options.

The information on MyHealth.Alberta.ca is evidence-based or based on best medical practice.

It doesn't give you:

• information about treatments that are experimental, drug trials, or any procedure that isn't standard practice in Alberta
• in-depth information about complementary or alternative medicines, such as dietary supplements, homeopathy, naturopathy, or aromatherapy
• a tool to rate your healthcare providers
