At a time when Alberta’s healthcare system is facing growing pressure from rising costs and increasing demand driven by rapid population growth, collaboration is what moves us forward.

Public, private and philanthropic sectors are aligning around a shared goal to improve cancer care in Alberta. Each plays a distinct role, contributing unique expertise, resources and perspectives. Together, this coordinated approach is enabling progress that would not be possible in isolation.

Precision Analytics is one example of this collaboration in action. Supported by Merck, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Roche and Alberta Innovates, this work is turning data into meaningful change. These insights are enabling care teams to identify efficiencies, reduce barriers, and improve how patients move through the cancer system.

More than 30 industry collaborators are contributing to this shared progress by supporting pilots, education initiatives, and tumour teams across Alberta. Their involvement strengthens clinical knowledge, advances innovation and enhances the experience of care for Albertans and their families.

This is the power of collaboration. It is coordinated, intentional, and deeply impactful. Most importantly, it is made possible by those who continue to invest in better outcomes for Albertans facing cancer.

Together, this collective effort is improving care today while building a stronger, more connected cancer system for the future.

Together, these partners are modernizing cancer technology, advancing research and improving care for patients and families across Alberta.
