Connect Care Re-launch Plan

Connect Care re-launch activities are underway across AHS and planning and implementation will resume as well. Waves 2 and 3 of Connect Care were temporarily delayed in March, given the significantly increased demands on our frontline physicians, staff, and services, and the increased health risks our patients and health care teams faced due to COVID-19. While response and management of COVID-19 continues across the province, the next waves of Connect Care will be carefully and thoughtfully prepared.
The AHS has assessed the situation and have adjusted the Connect Care Wave rollout plan and sequencing, based on the impact of COVID-19. The launch dates for waves 2, 3, and 4 are as follows:

  • Wave 2: Launch date – Saturday, October 24, 2020
  • Wave 3: Launch date – Saturday, February 27, 2021
  • Wave 4: Launch date – Saturday, June 5, 2021

More details can be found on the Community Provider Resources page.

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.
