Talk to a nurse

  • You can describe symptoms. Then ask what to do.

Help in other languages

Health Link Alberta has interpreters. They speak different languages. An interpreter can be on the phone with you and the nurse.
  • Call Health Link Alberta. Say:
    “I speak _________. I need an interpreter.”
