Residents in the Northwest Territories who travel to Alberta to receive healthcare will now be able to access a MyHealth Alberta Account, giving them access to online records of the care they’ve received in the province.
“This change gives residents more direct access to records related to the care they receive in Alberta, helping them stay informed and supporting safer, more coordinated care when they return home,” said Minister Lesa Semmler.
More than 8,000 NWT residents traveled to Alberta for healthcare services in 2025, with over 90,000 health system encounters logged over the last 13 months.
NWT residents will be able to access information on their care for up to one year, allowing them to better understand and manage their care and strengthen continuity of care between the two regions.
“Making it easier for Northwest Territories residents to access their Alberta health information helps improve continuity of care, reduces unnecessary barriers and ensures patients have the information they need to transition care back to local providers,” said Alberta Minister of Primary and Preventative Health Services Justin Wright.
Instructions on how to create an account and view records can be found at the MyHealth Alberta Website.
