When Albertans hear “you have cancer,” questions flood in. But too many face their diagnosis without clear, accessible information to guide them.

While patients may face wait times and limited access to relevant information, especially in rural or marginalized communities, there is a clear opportunity to make a difference. 
That’s why in partnership with the health care system, we are helping to create the Patient-Centred Education Program — giving every Albertan facing cancer access to trusted, personalized information exactly when they need it.

70%

of cancer patients are already using the online patient portals this program will be delivered through.

Up to half

of every oncologist appointment is spent answering basic questions instead of personalized care

A growing number

of Albertans are being diagnosed with cancer increasing the need for diverse education resources

This program will improve patient understanding, reduce anxiety and free up clinical time for in-depth discussions and treatment.

Screening Portal - Alberta Cancer Foundation
Through Alberta’s existing patient portals, patients will receive personalized resources based on their cancer type and concerns, including videos, classes and information in multiple languages and formats.
Equity - Alberta Cancer Foundation
It will ensure, every patient, regardless of location or background, have the same access to high-quality personalized cancer information — improving outcomes for all Albertans.

Your gift today will help build a program that will serve Albertans for generations to come. Give now and ensure everyone facing cancer has access to the clear, trusted information they need.

“Imagine if someone you love was diagnosed with cancer and from the very beginning of their cancer journey, they were able to access information that was tailored to their individual learning needs and unique concerns. That’s what will be possible for our patients with a program like this.”
