Alberta Children's Hospital

Calgary needs more advanced children's hospital and medical system than this little one. This one is not enough especially for emergency part ,too slow,always take around 3or more hours to see a doctor although we see and be examed by a lot of nurses which is not efficient and it's just time consuming because each time after passing several nurses they still can't say or solve any of medical conditions,,it needs more doctors .instead of nurses I was there and the nurses didn't recognize how emergency was my 16 month son condition and we waited for more than 7 hours and even I asked the nurses( who did just regular check up that everyone can do that ), and for checking the ears infection they responded they weren't be able to do it except doctors, as soon as the doctor examined my son she said it was so serious and she put him on antibiotic immediately !😒

After experiencing one of the hardest things I have ever experienced with our youngest boy... this place is an absolute god sent, this place was build from the ground up with love, compassion and bravery. The staff that work there are outstanding! They compassion they show to my little boy was more then any father could ever ask for. This place is amazing! They even set up beds for my wife and I to get a few hours sleep. I cant say enough good things about this place. God bless all the staff that keep this place going.

Emergency was okay, the nurses forgot I needed to eat and left my meal for hours, I had to inquire about what happened to it multiple times in my ward. This was after I was told I would be admitted. I went in at around 11 AM and finally got moved into a room at around 7-8 PM. Most of my time was spent in a room inside of emergency on a comfortable bed but no entertainment at all but my phone (which happened to die and nobody had a charger). Therefore, I'd say be prepared to wait the entire day and waste it in emergency, especially if they do not have a bed available as they did for me. The rooms are definitely up to quality, they are clean, modern, and comforting. The washrooms are very big and private (depends on ward) with a clean shower. Alongside that, the cafeteria is amazing as are the rest of the facilities in the hospital. It is all very bright, cheery, and colorful. The food (depending on which ward you are in) is definitely tasty and they offer a very wide variety of menu options (both in the cafeteria and in wards). The cafeteria also always has people in it and since it is very open you do not feel isolated at all. The nurses are absolutely amazing from my experience, they are very caring and understand how to talk to children and teenagers in a way to reassure them and keep them cheerful. They're interested in getting to know you and are all very social-able and lovely. In conclusion, if you can survive emerge a.k.a hell in every hospital (yes, there is not an exception for this hospital) you'll find your child's stay will be most pleasing and definitely easy for them.
