What is Wraparound Care?
A crisis rarely has just one cause. Our integrated, team-based approach meets people where they are – because when life feels complicated, support should feel simple. With the same team guiding you, you’ll receive seamless continuous care from immediate support to long-term health, all in one place.
A Proud Legacy
The Alex was founded in Inglewood, Calgary, in 1973 – the very first health centre of its kind in Alberta, the first housing first program provider in Calgary, and the first food centre in Western Canada. And over the decades, we’ve continued to break new ground providing social supports designed for real life.
The Alex is proud to serve as a safe space for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We respect everyone’s right to identify as they choose.
The Alex takes a Two-Eyed Seeing approach to care. We recognize the strength of both Indigenous ways of knowing and Western medicine.
Many people at The Alex know what it’s like to need support – because they’ve been there. We meet people with understanding, respect, and care.
Every Number Tells A Story
At The Alex, people always come first. Together, we see stories of hope, resilience, and humanity unfold every day.
