Need a laugh? 

One rainy Sunday afternoon, a young 

couple were on their way to their 

church to get married. On the way, 

their car went out of control and slammed into a 

telephone pole – killing them both instantly. The 

couple soon found themselves standing in front of 

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, welcoming them to 

Heaven. The woman asks Peter if they could get 

married in Heaven, since their time on Earth was 

cut short. He replies that he’ll get back with them 

on that request. A month later, St. Peter finds them 

and announces that they can – in fact – get married 

in Heaven. To his surprise, the woman asks “Just 

wondering, if things don’t work out, will we be 

able to get a divorce?” With a stern 

look in his eye, Peter blurts out 

“Look lady, it took me a month to 

find a preacher up here… you really 

think I’m gonna find a lawyer?”

Hospital changes make the news 

As you’ve no doubt read in the papers, Alberta Health Services will be launching a three-year 

community and acute care plan that increases the number of community living spaces and 

relocates patients from hospital beds to more appropriate care in the community. Most of these 

announced changes will affect Edmonton and Calgary. 

The plan will allow for the transfer of hundreds of patients currently waiting in hospital beds 

for placement into more appropriate care settings as new community living options come on 

stream. The plan will also release about 60 hospital beds this year to relieve emergency 

department pressures. 

Patients who are currently staying in acute care beds, but do not require hospital care, will 

return to their communities. They will be moved to supportive living facilities or long-term care 

facilities or their homes with the help of home care. To accommodate these moves, 776 new 

community living spaces will be created. 

Alberta Health Services also announced an agreement with Covenant Health to open 150 

community beds next May at Villas Caritas. Discussions on community living capacity, in 

addition to the 150 Villa Caritas beds, are ongoing and other openings will be announced as 

agreements are negotiated. 

If you have any questions or concerns on this or any other issue, please feel free to 

call me at 780-986-4652 or e-mail at leduc.beaumontdevon@assembly.ab.ca.
