To assist with primary health care planning, Alberta Health has developed a series of reports to provide a broad range of demographic, socio-economic and population health statistics considered relevant to primary health care for communities across the province. These community profiles provide information at the Zone and Local Geographic Area (LGA) level for each of the 132 LGAs in Alberta. Each Profile offers an overview of the current health status of residents in the LGA, indicators of the area’s current and future health needs, and evidence as to which quality services are needed on a timely basis to address the area’s needs. The profiles are intended to highlight areas of need and provide relevant information to support the consistent and sustainable planning of primary health services.
