Alberta’s companies and business leaders are listening.

From flexibility and wellness perks to burnout prevention and technology, workplace wellbeing is being redefined across industries in ways that fit each organization and its people.
We partnered with Postmedia to explore these shifts as part of Vitality Alberta: Work Well series.
Here’s a summary of the key themes from their coverage: https://ow.ly/79EG50XuMhr

When it comes to wellbeing in union workplaces, one of our 2025 survey respondents said it best:

"When employers invest in our wellbeing as people, we show up for the organization."

For the 5.3 million Canadian workers represented by unions, wellbeing goes far beyond benefits coverage. It’s about fairness, job stability and knowing leadership genuinely has your back.

Our new blog shares what union employees told us about trust, culture and what makes them feel valued at work.

From busy professionals to single parents, from residents in remote Alberta to crews on the move, life doesn’t pause when you need care.

Virtual care makes it easier to connect with licensed health professionals for prescriptions, advice or mental health support, anytime and anywhere in Canada.

Today, we remember. ❤️

On this Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served and continue to serve our country. Their dedication has shaped the freedoms we enjoy today, and it’s important that we never forget their legacy.

If you would like to give back, consider donating to organizations that support veterans and their families such as:
Homes for Heroes
Valour Place
Veterans Association Food Bank

Our office is closed today in observance of Remembrance Day and will reopen with regular hours on Wednesday.

Lest we forget.

➡️ This week's Vitality Alberta: Work Well article explores supporting men’s mental health in the workplace: https://ow.ly/7QGL50XmxHL

Many men suffer in silence, often facing pressure to “tough it out” while balancing work, family and personal challenges. In Canada, 75% of all suicides are among men (StatsCan, Movember), high-lighting the importance of support.

When men are supported in their mental health, everyone benefits — teams are stronger, families are healthier and stigma is reduced.

Our Story

More than 60 years ago, a small blue cross became the symbol of a bold new movement to help Albertans struggling to pay for medical care. Alberta Blue Cross began as company dedicated to helping people pay their hospital bills in an era when universal health care didn't exist.

Alberta hospitals were behind the formation of the Alberta Blue Cross Plan in 1948. Under an Act of the Alberta Legislature, the Associated Hospitals of Alberta (AHA) was incorporated and permitted to establish a voluntary, pre-paid, not-for-profit Blue Cross plan. The Plan essentially served as an extension of Alberta's hospital sector, offering a province-wide hospital care plan for working Albertans. It gave patients affordable coverage for hospital services. At the same time, Alberta hospitals gained greater financial security because the Plan paid patient bills.

Today, we deliver a broad range of health benefit programs and services across Alberta. We’ve made a commitment to be present in the lives and communities we serve and to support and promote health and wellness across them. Our vision is to play a larger role with our customers, providing them with a lifetime of benefits.
