ABJHI identifies service delivery improvements that provide better patient care for Albertans with bone and joint health issues—but we don’t do it alone. We work closely with partners in the healthcare system, researchers, independent organizations, and members of the public.

Tell Us Your Story

Line

At ABJHI, we use stories to talk about gaps, challenges, and improvements in terms of real lives and real impact.

Innovation doesn’t happen overnight⁠—from the laboratory where researchers seek new knowledge to defeat disease and repair injury, to physicians and other clinicians who put new knowledge into practice, to health administrators who set standards and parameters around services, products, and practices. Stories shared from our community helps to inform and inspire change.

Your story may not seem extraordinary to you, but on the road of continuous improvement every experience and outcome, positive or negative, makes the difference.
