Promoting Healthy Aging in Alberta

ASCC Logo
Mission

The Alberta Seniors Care Coalition (ASCC) is a strategic coalition of organizations in Alberta that have a commitment to improving seniors care and will work together discussing multiple perspectives, finding common vision and inspiring its members to influence a seniors care strategy in Alberta.

Objectives

ASCC is a coalition of organizations representing clinicians and other key stakeholders who are committed to improving seniors care in Alberta and will work together:

  • To continue to build awareness and support the mandates, goals, strategies and activities of member organizations related to the vision, goals and strategic priorities of the coalition and to avoid duplication.
  • To facilitate forums and communication methods where coalition members can effectively connect to plan, strategize and achieve its purpose.
  • To collectively discuss issues, needs, trends and the impact of current programs, projects and initiatives within seniors care in Alberta.
  • To identify areas where coalition members can assist and partner to create or contribute to policy, pathways, community education and other organization initiatives that will further the vision, goals and strategic priorities of the coalition.

 

Working Together for Healthy Aging in Alberta: Seniors Forum Recommendations

It is with great pleasure that we share the ACFP’s Healthy Aging Policy Paper — Working Together for Healthy Aging in Alberta: Seniors Forum Recommendations. The work is the thoughtful collation of recommendations identified at the ACFP’s Seniors Care Forum in 2014. Seniors Care Forum participants included key stakeholders interested in building partnerships focused on providing and improving seniors care.

The ACFP is an active member of the Alberta Seniors Care Coalition and continues to meet regularly to network and work together to advance healthy aging in Alberta.

My name is Smitha Yaltho and I feel privileged to work as a family physician. Why? I believe that being a family physician has been the best job any physician can hope to have. I have personally grown in my own abilities and skill-sets with diverse opportunities in ambulatory practice, acute care and work in Facility Living.  Working in primary care has been exciting and has also afforded me tremendous opportunities for growth while still remaining stimulating in its complexity.  I believe that Family physicians are trusted partners in patient care –  every step of the way. 

Why are you volunteering to serve on this committee?
I currently have an interest in Physician Leadership and  trauma informed care.  I have served as a director with the Board of Directors with the Edmonton North PCN, Edmonton’s largest PCN. Thereafter, I have worked as the Director of Medical Services with CapitalCare (also based in Edmonton) for almost 6 years. It is my express wish that my contribution on the ACFP board of directors will highlight the excellence of family medicine that exists right here and now within the Alberta health care system. 

What about the ACFP’s work do you find most valuable?
Ability to highlight and further support the excellence of primary care right here in Alberta.
