Human rights tribunal rules in favour of disabled woman denied ultrasound at Calgary clinic

July 18, 2025

Stephanie Chipeur complained to the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal after the Calgary diagnostics clinic refused to schedule her for an appointment in 2021 unless she had a caretaker also attend to lift her from her wheelchair onto an exam table.
