Capital Health

Capital Health is the governing body for healthcare in two Canadian provinces, - Alberta and Nova Scotia.

In Alberta, the Capital Health region includes the communities of:
 * Edmonton
 * Fort Saskatchewan
 * Leduc
 * Spruce Grove
 * St. Albert
 * Leduc County
 * Parkland County
 * Strathcona County
 * Sturgeon County
 * eastern part of Yellowhead County
 * Devon
 * also areas in central and northern Alberta

In Nova Scotia, the Capital District is the largest health district in the Province of Nova Scotia.

The District was an important participant in the 2004 Baker and Norton paper, printed in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on Health System error. The Canadian Adverse Events study can be found at http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/170/11/1678

We are unsure whether the error rate in the Capital District in Nova Scotia, or elsewhere, is higher or lower than it was at the time of the study, nor do we know how many people have better or worse health following treatment within the Capital District.

The District has a close affiliation with Dalhousie University Medical School

The CEO, Chris Power, is a nurse with broad experience in health care in Nova Scotia and elsewhere. The District has a charitable foundation, and the Board Chair for the Foundation is Ms. Constance Glube a former judge in Nova Scotia.
