Surgeons will be focus of Alberta’s public-private health care model, Smith says

November 19, 2025

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says surgeons will be the focus of the government’s plan to introduce a health care model where physicians can toggle between the public and private system.

In a seven-minute video posted on social media Wednesday, Ms. Smith, alongside Matt Jones, Alberta’s Minister of Hospital and Surgical Health Services, said her government is calling it the “dual practice surgery model.”
