Friends of Medicare will be holding town hall events in Lethbridge and Medicine Hat as part of a greater Alberta tour with Dr. Paul Parks.

Parks is an emergency physician in Medicine Hat and a past president of the Alberta Medical Association.

The event, “Urgent Conversations on Public Health Care,” will include stops at several locations throughout the province after two initial stops.

The group says the events will offer an opportunity for residents to share their experiences and concerns with the provincial health care system, and discuss solutions.

The Lethbridge event will include family physician Dr. Jillian Demontigny.
