For over 25 years Healthcare Solutions has committed to being a leading provider of health care information for our professional customers through provision of up-to-date catalogs, live educational sessions, and blog publications.
The volume and variety of Alberta Aids to Daily Living Products carried on adlequipment.com and in store demands that we educate the health professionals making product choices for their clients.
Healthcare Solutions offers professional education sessions in our private, purpose-built Summit Room on the second floor of our Edmonton South Gateway Boulevard location. These sessions provide opportunities to engage in presentations from product vendor representatives and other professionals over an informal meal.
We regularly offer 1.5 hour sessions from at lunch time with a complimentary* lunch, as well as occasional special full-day education events.
