Established in 2005, the Central and Northern Network for Child Health provides a forum to improve the communication and collaboration on child health services provided by regional health authorities(Capital Health, David Thompson , Northern Lights, Aspen, Peace Country and East Central) and agencies in central and northern Alberta. The Network members also include the Alberta Cancer Board; Treaty 6 – Yellowhead Tribal Council, and Treaty 8 – First Nations of Alberta; and the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (Health Canada).
The Central and Northern Network for Child Health addresses all aspects of children's health, including acute care services in hospital for infants, children and youth; developmental services, pediatric programming for promotion of health and prevention of disease or injury, cancer treatment, and rehabilitation, which are provided by the Stollery Children's Hospital and other Capital Health facilities.
Numerous outreach clinics provide a variety of specialized services in many of the communities outside of the Capital Health region. The network's member agencies work together in a variety of areas including injury prevention, discharge planning, transitioning from hospital to home region, and referring in from rural regions to urban hospitals and services. The overall goal is to support one another in maximizing services in all of the regions and supporting the capacity of care providers in rural areas.
