Alberta Health Services (AHS) is proud to be part of Canada’s first and largest provincewide, integrated health system, responsible for delivering health services to more than 4.5 million people living in Alberta, as well as occasionally to some residents of other provinces and territories.
AHS has more than 111,100 direct AHS employees (excluding Covenant Health and other contracted service providers) and more than 13,100 staff working in AHS’ wholly-owned subsidiaries such as Alberta Precision Laboratories, Carewest and CapitalCare Group. AHS is also supported by approximately 9,100 volunteers and more than 11,100 physicians practicing in Alberta, approximately 8,850 of whom are members of the AHS medical staff (including active, temporary and community appointments).

Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre may offer specialties such as emergency medicine, surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and more, depending on their capabilities.

The hospital likely publishes quality metrics related to patient outcomes, safety measures, and patient satisfaction scores, demonstrating their commitment to high-quality healthcare.

Alberta Health Services (AHS) participates in the accreditation of health services to help our organization ensure the delivery of safe quality healthcare. As a component of continuous quality improvement, accreditation compares our health services with established national standards of excellence to help us identify what we’re doing well and how we can further improve. The AHS Accreditation Department facilitates the accreditation processes, engages staff and organizes on-site survey visits with Accreditation Canada.

Accreditation Canada accredits the majority of AHS services, with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta accrediting diagnostic services within AHS.

AHS is participating in an accreditation cycle (2023-2027) in which there will be two Accreditation Canada survey visits per year (Spring and Fall).
