2025 Health Quality Alberta Patient Experience Award
24 October 2025
The Patient Experience Awards were established by Health Quality Alberta and its Patient and Family Advisory Committee to celebrate and spread knowledge about initiatives that improve the patient’s overall experience in accessing and receiving healthcare services.
Edmonton Diabetes & High Risk Foot Clinic
Diabetes care has historically been fragmented, requiring patients to visit separate clinics for specialist appointments, foot and nail care, wound care, diabetes education, insulin pump training, and mental health support. Communication between these services was often minimal, creating an overwhelming burden on patients and their families. The Edmonton Diabetes & High Risk Foot Clinic consolidated services under one roof. One patient shares how the clinic – where she feels less judged and more supported – has made her life much easier.
