Patients and their families are best placed to know what is important and what is not when receiving health care services. That's why patient-oriented research and care is so vital. Through their lived experience, patients bring valuable firsthand perspectives to research that help lead to new and better ways of delivering care that ultimately improve the health of all people in Canada.
Today, the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Tourism and Associate Minister of Finance, announced, on behalf of the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Health, a joint investment of more than $36 million over five years from the Government of Canada, the Government of Alberta, and other provincial partners to continue the work of the Alberta SPOR Support for People and Patient-Oriented Research and Trials (SUPPORT) Unit to connect research with patient needs so that evidence-based solutions can be applied to health care.
