The Alex, A Community Health Centre in Calgary
The Alex believes health is a complete state of physical, mental, emotional and economic well-being; not just the absence of disease. Their priority is to break down access and social barriers, by tailoring their services to meet individuals’ needs. From babies to seniors, their clients are as unique and special as the care they receive.
Merge™
Merge™ is an evolution of family-centred care to support parenting in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Health care provider roles broaden with a focus on educating and supporting parents as they gain knowledge, skills, and confidence in care of their baby.
A standardized implementation process supports operationalization and helps reduce variability in healthcare delivery in NICU. With Merge™, parents can take their baby home sooner and hospitals can avoid costs.
Alberta Family Integrated Care (FICare™)
The purpose of this project is to test a new way to integrate and involve parents into the care of their baby through a program called Alberta Family Integrated Care (FICare™). Alberta FICare™ provides tools and strategies to empower parents to build their knowledge, skill, and confidence to ensure they’re well-prepared to care for their preterm infant before going home.
