Alberta Health Services (AHS) is working hard to ensure the community of Valleyview has care available with the resumption of acute care services at the Valleyview Healthcare Centre.  

Through the continued uncertainty around the current wildfire situation in the area, the care and safety of our patients and staff remains our top priority as we work to resume care services. 

Services may be subject to adjustment to ensure the safety of those providing and receiving care.  

Inpatient admissions have resumed, and AHS is currently working to repatriate those acute care patients who were evacuated to other AHS facilities in the province on May 16.  

Patients, their families, and the health facilities where they have been relocated to will be notified when arrangements are in place for their safe return to Valleyview. 

Currently, there is no timeline available for when continuing care residents will be repatriated back to the community. 

We are extremely grateful for our frontline teams, staff and physicians who have come together to support the wildfire response across the organization.  

AHS provides wildfire resources for Albertans at AHS.ca/wildfire, including mental health, air quality, and emergency planning links.
