On Saturday, 400 new appointments will be available at the South Health Campus and Peter Lougheed, and 175 more appointments will be available at the Foothills Medical Centre on Aug. 12.
Alberta Precision Laboratories, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alberta Health Services, will be taking on more appointments for community lab appointments starting this weekend, mostly serving Calgary and area.
The apparent backtrack comes a year after community laboratory services were transitioned from APL to Dynalife beginning in July 2022. Dynalife took over responsibility for community and non-urgent hospital lab services throughout the province in December 2022. The Health Sciences Association of Alberta said its APL lab members have been offered additional shifts to provide extra appointments and processing support in Calgary and Edmonton since the end of July.“This additional support is critical to both Albertans and our members working for Dynalife,” said HSAA president Mike Parker.
