The Professional Association of Resident Physician
The Professional Association of Resident Physicians of Alberta extends our deepest sympathies to all who have been impacted by the tragic events at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright. We stand with the grieving families, those who have been injured, the Canadian Armed Forces, the community of Wainwright, and our first responders and health care workers who are working tirelessly under extremely difficult circumstances.

 As we come together as professionals, as a community, as a province and as a nation, we encourage everyone needing support to reach out to their networks. To our members, 24 hour crisis supports are available through the Physician and Family Support Program at 1-877-767-4637.

 We are all with you.
