Royal Alexandra Hospital |
Located in the heart of Edmonton's city centre, the Royal Alex serves a diverse community stretching from downtown Edmonton to western and northern Canada. We operate 678 beds, and care for 450,000 patients annually. We are proud to employ over 4,800 full- and part-time staff.
The RAH is home to the Women's Health Centre, the Regional Eye Centre and the Aboriginal Health program, in addition to a wide range of child, adult and geriatric programs and services. The Alex also houses the region's largest Medicine Program with 227 beds, accounting for over forty per cent of the region's inpatient programs.
The Royal Alex is one of the province's leading and largest surgical hospitals – more than 28,000 surgical procedures are done annually. The Royal Alex also has a lead role in the development of minimally invasive surgery, a rapidly evolving technique that helps patients heal and recover faster and return sooner to productive lives.
The Royal Alex's Cardiac Services program is nationally recognized for its innovative work in the non-urgent treatment of heart disease, including being the first in North America to perform a coronary angiogram on an outpatient basis. The program also has the largest angioplasty volumes in North America for a site without cardiac surgery on-site.
As a teaching hospital, the RAH has strong affiliations with the University of Alberta Departments of Ophthalmology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Family Medicine.
