Alberta Health Services Health Education and Learning Website

Alberta Health Services has unveiled its Health Education and Learning (HEAL) website designed to assist parents with the management of pediatric illnesses and provide direction on whether an emergency room visit is required.

HEAL aims to supply information and reduce the number of unnecessary E.R. visits while being mindful to the concerns of parents.

HEAL is a reliable tool for parents amidst a sea of secondhand anecdotes and internet diagnoses.

HEAL provides information on common ailments including:

· Coughs and common colds
· Croup
· Ear pain
· Nosebleeds
· Vomiting and diarrhea
· Fever
· Rashes
