President's Letter
Dear Members,
The United Conservative Party has won the provincial election and will form the government until 2027.
I have written today to Premier Smith to congratulate her on the outcome of the vote. I have also advised that we will be ready to meet with her health minister as soon as they are appointed, to discuss urgent issues affecting the sustainability of physician practices. We have been calling for immediate action but received no answer before the election period.
We will move as quickly as possible to engage with government on these matters and to advance implementation of our agreement. The viability of our practices and the care we provide to patients are at stake. The Board of Directors meets this week to finalize plans and establish the direction of the AMA business plan for 2023-24. I will keep you informed.
You are always welcome to share your thoughts with me. You can email me via president@albertadoctors.org. You can also comment on this letter on the AMA website.
Regards,
fred Rinaldi, MD, CCFP, FCFP, LLB, MBA, MPA(HSA), BCom
President, Alberta Medical Association
