US EditionAlberta government in ‘final stages’ of health-care revamp with new legislation
- The Alberta government is in the final stages of a major health-care restructuring announced a year and a half ago, occurring across Alberta in 2024 and 2025.
- This redesign follows the United Conservatives’ plan to dismantle Alberta Health Services, reducing it mainly to a hospital services provider with four new agencies taking over other functions.
- Health Minister Adriana LaGrange proposed Bill 55, which shifts public health functions like immunization and newborn screening to Primary Care Alberta and moves policy roles to the Health Ministry.

- The legislation, expected to be proclaimed in fall 2025, will reshape Alberta’s health system structure but faces ongoing controversy and uncertain responses from critics and sector stakeholders.
