Transportation for Patients from Fort Chipewyan Increases

One of the biggest challenges this department encounters is moving members from remote communities into larger centers for the health care they require. Meeting the demand from the residents of Fort Chipewyan has been an ongoing concern that we have worked hard to resolve.

Starting November 8, 2017, in partnership with Northwestern Air based out of Fort Smith, we have been able to add additional flights for our Health patients, and provide the additional seating to the residents of Fort Chipewyan. This not only helps ATC get members to their medical appointments with less stress, it also supports the community with additional opportunities to fly in and out of Fort Chipewyan as seats are available.
