About
At The Alex, we believe that everyone – no matter their age, background, or circumstance – deserves to live a healthy, dignified life. For over 50 years, we’ve walked alongside people in Calgary facing poverty, trauma, and social exclusion, delivering care that sees beyond challenges to the inherent worth in every individual.
We provide wraparound supports that include primary health care, mental health and addiction services, housing and food security, and strong community connection. Through the power of authentic relationships and a deep commitment to dignity, we meet people where they are, whether on the street, in a clinic, or at a community table.
Our team-based, multidisciplinary model ensures that no one faces hardship alone. We bring together health professionals, social workers, and community advocates to provide integrated care that empowers people to move from crisis to wellness.
By including The Alex in your Will, you’re creating a legacy of compassion, dignity, and social change. Your future gift will allow us to continue breaking down barriers, building trust, and delivering high-impact programs that transform lives – one person, one family, one community at a time.
When you give through your Will, you’re not only planning for tomorrow, you’re helping shape a better future for generations of Calgarians. Join us in building a community where health and wellness belong to everyone.
Our Impact
Each year, The Alex supports over 14,000 Calgarians – individuals who are often overlooked, underserved, and underrepresented. From a youth facing homelessness to a senior managing chronic illness in isolation, we are there offering support, self-worth, and practical help.
Our wraparound approach means that a single connection can open doors to life-changing care. Whether it’s a hot meal, access to a doctor, help securing housing, or someone to talk to, The Alex is a place of safety and hope.
We’ve seen lives change when people are met with compassion and consistency. A teen who visited our Youth Health Centre is now on a stable path to education and housing. A single mother, once dependent on emergency rooms, now receives continuous care and counseling. Every story is a powerful reminder: support leads to stability, and stability opens the door to opportunity.
Your legacy gift helps us deepen this impact – expanding reach, enhancing services, and ensuring that no one falls through the cracks.
