The Alex Community Health Centre

🎁 A big thank you to The Junior League of Calgary for their incredible support over the past 13 years! Every holiday season, they generously provide Teen Totes filled with thoughtful gifts for vulnerable youth in our community. These totes bring so much joy to the young people we serve, and they’re a highlight of our annual Christmas Luncheon. ❤️ This partnership reflects the power of coming together to make a difference. Thank you, Junior League of Calgary, for helping us spread holiday cheer year after year! #ThankYou #HolidayHope #YouthSupport #HopeTotes

As 2024 wraps up, stay safe and aware when receiving calls, messages, or digital communications from unknown numbers. 🛡️ At The Alex, we are committed to keeping your personal information safe. Here are some key tips to protect yourself when communicating with us or anyone else: 🔍 Always ask for verification: If you’re unsure about a call, ask for the caller’s name and department. We’re always happy to confirm any details for you. 🌐 Confirm the number: All our official contact numbers are listed on our website. If the call isn’t from one of these numbers, it’s likely not from us. 🔒 We’ll never ask for or share personal healthcare or medical records over the phone: If you’re ever asked for such information, decline to respond and report the call to us directly. 🧘 Stay calm and trust your instincts: If something feels off or if the caller is being aggressive or demanding, hang up and call us directly. Your privacy is our priority. If you ever have concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out through trusted channels. #ProtectYourself #PrivacyMatters #TheAlexCare #CommunitySafety #StaySafe
