SHSF has funded the addition of a new patient lift for the Acute Care unit. This equipment will support staff in providing safe and effective care, especially as the number of patients with mobility challenges continues to grow. The lift enhances both patient comfort and caregiver safety during transfers and mobility assistance.

SHSF has funded the purchase of a specialized gynecological stretcher for the Emergency Room at a cost of $12,000.00. This stretcher enhances both usability and patient safety, particularly for individuals requiring gynecological assessments or procedural sedation. It features integrated side rails to support patient stability and safety during procedures, and its adjustable design allows it to convert into a position suitable for gynecological examinations.

One year ago, the Stettler region was facing a serious doctor shortage — only 6 physicians were serving a community that needed more than double that. Numerous ER closures were reported throughout 2024. Our government heard those concerns loud and clear.

Working alongside local leaders, health partners, and communities across the province, we've supported a collaborative approach to recruitment for helping underserved regions across Alberta.

Today, Stettler has 13 doctors and a stable Emergency Room. That’s a major turnaround — and a real win for rural health care.

It's not just Stettler that's seeing exponential growth in physician recruitment. In the last 12 months, we've had a net gain of 643 new doctors across Alberta — a 5.3% increase, outpacing 2.5% population growth.

We’ve seen strong gains in every health zone, including a 10% increase in the North Zone. This kind of success is happening because Alberta is becoming a destination of choice for skilled health professionals.

A new compensation model empowers doctors, we offer a wide range of career opportunities, and Alberta remains an attractive place to build a livelihood.

We know there’s still more to do. Recruiting and retaining doctors remains a top priority. But progress like this shows we’re on the right track — and we remain fully committed to building on this momentum.
