There are many reasons why you should choose Alberta Health Services (AHS) as a career option. For starters, AHS is one of the leading healthcare systems in Canada, responsible for overseeing the planning and delivery of health supports, services and care to more than 3.5 million adults and children.

Plus, our organization is home to great employments opportunities at over 400 sites situated in both rural and urban locations stretching from the US border in the south, up to the Canadian north.
AHS is the only provincial health authority in Canada – and it’s also the largest – with 85,000 staff and 7,000 physicians. Established on May 15, 2008, AHS is responsible for overseeing the planning and delivery of health supports and services to more than three and a half million adults and children living in the province of Alberta.

Our organization brings together twelve formerly separate health entities in the province, including nine geographically based health authorities offering a wide range of health supports and services and three provincial entities working specifically in the areas of mental health, addictions, and cancer.
AHS’ mandate is to ensure that health supports and services are coordinated across Alberta. This means ensuring the smooth transition of supports and services to a single provincial health authority and building on strengths that exist in what is recognized as one of the leading health systems in Canada. The work of the organization is guided by what is in the best interests of the health of Albertans.
