Strategic Direction

Five-Year Strategic Plan

Wellspring Alberta has developed a strategic plan for 2021 – 2026. It serves to guide the organization through a series of actions intended to ensure organizational health, financial sustainability and expanded reach – all with the goal of serving more individuals living with cancer and those that care for and love them.

Our vision: No one has to face cancer alone.
