We are proud to support the CHANGE Health Community Program (CHCP), which engages Albertan families as they come together to pursue a healthier lifestyle through four main activity areas: nutrition, physical activity, mental health and social connection.

CHANGE Health Alberta is a community-based program housed out of the University of Alberta, working to create a new model of health service delivery that supports preventive, personalized and community-relevant care to Albertans.

In 2019, Alberta Blue Cross® partnered with Dr. Doug Klein of the University of Alberta’s Department of Family Medicine and his team to launch CHCP, which supports families as they come together to “re-learn healthy living” in their communities. Health professionals, such as dietitians, exercise specialists and mental health clinicians help guide these sessions and respond to questions that families might have.

CHCP welcomes all families in Alberta to join them to stay connected, meet new families and learn how to incorporate healthy activities into busy family life. The program is offered at no cost to families.
