Thank you to our Care Opinion Community

As the year draws to a close, we at Care Opinion want to pause, reflect, and extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped bring our mission to life in 2025. 

To every storyteller who took a brave step — choosing vulnerability over silence, sharing personal experiences that matter, opening a door for change: thank you. Your voices have given power, not only to your own story, but to the many people who may never step forward, but whose lives are touched when care improves. It takes courage to speak up. It takes strength to hope. And by sharing, you become catalysts — guiding the future of person-centred care in Alberta, and beyond. 

To our Subscribers — healthcare providers, organizations, advocates, and allies — who dedicate time and attention to reading, listening, reflecting: thank you. Thank you for believing that stories matter. Thank you for believing that behind every experience there is insight — and behind every insight, the possibility of better care. Your commitment to hearing voices, learning from them, and acting on them helps turn stories into change. 

Because of you — storytellers and listeners alike — Care Opinion continues to grow, evolve, and become what it was always meant to be: a community rooted in authenticity, compassion, and hope. Because of you, we’ve seen new voices emerge. We’ve heard experiences that challenge us, humble us, and inspire us. We’ve seen systems, services, and care approaches respond — and begin to shift toward being more human-centred. 

As we gather in the spirit of the holidays — a time for reflection, warmth, and gratitude — we want you to know this: we wouldn’t be where we are today without you. Your courage, your compassion, your commitment makes all the difference. 

In this season of thanks, we honor you. We celebrate you. And we look forward to the future you help us build — one story, one voice, one change at a time. 

With heartfelt appreciation and warm wishes for a peaceful holiday season and hopeful new year, 

 The Care Opinion team
