    Building a better health system with the voice of our community Where we are The Lesser Slave Lake Health Advisory Council serves High Prairie, Lesser Slave Lake and Wabasca and a number of rural and remote communities including Faust, Grouard, Joussard, Kinuso, Red Earth Creek, Peerless Lake and Trout Lake. Our geographic area covers a range of landscapes, industries, and demographics, as well as long-established communities. (see map page 2). Accomplishments • Supported the need for the new High Prairie Health Complex, bringing services closer to where people live. • Recommended the need for an EMS ambulance garage in Wabasca. • Advocated for increased transportation options for those in rural areas and worked with AHS leadership to bring forward these concerns (ongoing). • Partnered with AHS to host a Community Conversation in High Prairie. Stakeholders engaged in discussion about health care successes, challenges and opportunities for future partnerships.
