Wood Buffalo Health Advisory Council

Wood Buffalo Health Advisory Council is located in the northeastern most corner of the province representing municipalities like Fort McMurray, Fort MacKay and Fort Chipewyan, Anzac, Janvier and Conklin.

The Health Advisory Councils’ purpose is to enhance and develop partnerships between the province’s diverse communities and Alberta Health Services.
