Alberta’s premier and health minister are set to speak Thursday about the government’s “Alberta Health Services reform plan,” according to a news release.

A news conference with Danielle Smith and Jason Copping is scheduled in Calgary at 2 p.m.

Throughout the United Conservative Party leadership campaign and her first month as premier, Smith has been critical of how AHS responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and promised changes to the organization’s management.

She began making those changes Monday, naming Dr. Mark Joffe as chief medical officer of health, replacing Dr. Deena Hinshaw.
