Alberta Children’s Hospital

About Alberta Children’s Hospital

The Alberta Children’s Hospital (ACH) believes in innovation and collaboration. We support the publication of our pediatric clinical care guidelines (ACH PCCG), in the interest of facilitating information sharing and partnership widely with other physicians, in order to raise the standard of care, and to deliver the best possible outcomes for the patients and families we serve.

The ACH is a 150-bed free standing children’s hospital in Calgary, Alberta, Canada that contains a 14-bed neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), a 15-bed pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and large pediatric emergency department (ED) with nearly 100,000 visits per annum and has access to most pediatric medical and surgical subspecialties. It is academically affiliated with the University of Calgary.

The province of Alberta has a population of 4.43 million (2020) and the ACH services the southern half of the province and some parts of surrounding provinces. Pediatric cardiovascular surgical services are centralized at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in the north, but children’s bone marrow transplant services are all provided at the ACH.

The ACH is a member of Solutions for Patient Safety (SPS).
