Share your story. Show the faces of care.

Health care in Alberta is delivered by skilled professionals whose work keeps the system running every day. But too often, that work goes unseen. Faces of Care is a chance for HSAA members to share the reality behind health care: the skill, complexity, and compassion that comes with caring for Albertans.

Your story can help people better understand: 

  • what your work actually involves;
  • what patients and families may not see; and
  • why protecting health care means supporting the people who deliver it  

Your voice is powerful. You do not need to be a writer, a spokesperson or a content creator — honest experiences are what matter most. 

Tell your friends and family what your profession is, explain what you do and why it matters.

Behind every health care moment is a person. This is your chance to show what care really looks like.
