We are so grateful to have you in our community.

Nurse Practitioners are an essential part of our care teams at The Alex. Every day, they meet people where they’re at, providing medical care, building trust, and helping individuals navigate complex health and social challenges.

Their compassion and expertise make a real difference in the lives of those we serve, and we’re deeply grateful for their continued commitment to our community.

Thank you to all our Nurse Practitioners for everything you do, this week and always. 💙

Thanks to generous support from Calgary Foundation through their Community Grant Program, we’re investing in the heart of our work: our teams.

The Alex is well into a period of significant organizational growth that requires our team members to know how to communicate and collaborate effectively as we strive to provide high quality, comprehensive care.

Thanks to Calgary Foundation through their Community Grant Program, we have the opportunity to engage staff in leadership, coaching and cultural training and safety, with the goal of increasing organizational capacity for effective team-based care across our programs and clinics.

We’re grateful to Calgary Foundation for believing in the power of community and capacity-building. 💙

Today, we pause to remember.
To honour those who served, those who sacrificed, and those whose lives were forever changed by conflict.

At The Alex, we reflect with gratitude and compassion — for the strength of those who came before us, and for the peace and care we continue to work toward every day.

Lest we forget. 🌺

🧡 It’s Thank You Thursday and today we’re shining a light on The Allard Foundation!

Thanks to their generous support, we’re able to cover critical program costs for our Youth Health Bus — including client medications, program and clinic supplies, and other expenses that help keep the bus on the road. This support helps us bring barrier-free health care directly to youth who need it most.

🧡 This Thank You Thursday, we’re giving a warm shout-out to the Flames Foundation for fuelling youth and family programming at our Community Food Centre!

Their generous support helps us offer free, inclusive spaces where kids and families can cook, grow, share meals, and connect - building skills, confidence, and community along the way.

To be vulnerable is to expose the parts of ourselves we usually keep hidden. Some see it as weakness, a crack in the armor, an invitation for hurt or disappointment.

Yet vulnerability can also be a quiet kind of strength. It is the courage to feel deeply, to speak honestly, and to risk being seen as we truly are. It is in these moments that empathy, connection, and understanding emerge.

Perhaps vulnerability is both fragile and powerful, risky and necessary, terrifying and liberating. And maybe, when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we also open the door to healing, growth, and deeper human connection.

When Maria and her partner arrived at The Alex, she was six or seven months pregnant and had not yet seen a doctor. The team sprang into action, providing prenatal care, an ultrasound, bloodwork, STI testing, and a warm meal.

They also shared that they were struggling with substance use and couch surfing. Knowing regular clinic visits would be difficult, The Alex offered follow-up care through our Mobile Care Clinic (MCC).

A few days later, the MCC team tracked them down and provided tailored medical care, harm-reduction support, medications, food, grocery gift cards, and taxi vouchers to make appointments possible.

When Maria and her partner heard their baby’s heartbeat, they were overcome with emotion and expressed deep gratitude for the care that met them where they were.

In a moment of crisis, they found hope, dignity, and support.
