Continuing to improve health-care delivery in Calgary
More than $4 million has been invested to expand hemodialysis services and upgrade air exchange systems at the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary.
Through Alberta’s Infrastructure Maintenance Program, Alberta Health Services (AHS) received $1.35 million to expand hemodialysis capacity at the Peter Lougheed Centre. The Calgary Health Foundation also donated $1.37 million, bringing the total investment to $2.72 million for this project.
